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.
