Wireless Sensor Network Classifications

Wireless sensor networks can be classified based on the mobility of nodes, network topology, number and movement of sinks, and hop count. Key classifications include static vs mobile nodes, deterministic vs nondeterministic topology, single vs multiple sinks that can be static or mobile, and single-hop vs multi-hop networks where nodes relay data through intermediaries to reach sinks. The classifications impact factors like scalability, flexibility, control complexity, and traffic load balancing.

Classification Of Wireless Sensor Network

 Static and Mobile Network


• Mobile effect which increases the complex of implementation

 Deterministic and Nondeterministic network


Deterministic Nondeterministic
Position of sensor node are preplanned , fixed once More scalable and flexible .
deployed .
In most situation it is difficult to deploy sensor node in Require higher control complex .
preplanned manner , Because of the harsh or hostile
environments .

 Static -Sink and Mobile-Sink Network


Static -Sink Mobile-Sink
The Sink(s) is static with a fixed position located close The Sink(s) moves around in the sensing region to
to or inside a sensing region . collect data from sensor nodes .
It is make the network simpler to control , But is Balance the traffic load of sensor nodes and
would cause the Hotspot effect . alleviate the hotspot effect .
 Single – sink and Multisink network
Single – sink Multisink
It is only one sink located close to or inside the sensing More scalable and flexible . there may be several sinks
region . located in different positions close to or inside the
sensing region.
All sensor nodes send their sensed data to this sink. it can be effectively balance the traffic load of sensor
nodes and alleviate the hotspot effect in the network.

 Single - Hop and Multi-hop Network


Single - Hop Multi-hop
All sensor nodes transmit their sensed data directly to sensor nodes transmit their sensed data to the sink
the sink. using short - range wireless communication via one or
more intermediate nodes..
which makes network control simpler to implement. Each intermediate node must perform routing and
forward the data along a multihop path.
