Abstract
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is composed of several
autonomous and compact devices, which have a radio
transceiver, microcontroller, battery and sensor
interface. They typically monitor physical conditions and
transmit those measurements to a coordinator in a main
location. WSN self-monitoring has two separate but
equally important units: 1) monitoring of a sensor
network environment and 2) monitoring of sensor
condition. The previous takes care that the information
flow is constant and reliable. The latter guarantees that
only correct information is forwarded to the coordinator.
In this document concept of WSN self-monitoring, its
equipment and an example installation is examined and
presented.
