Anukriti Sharma, Sharad Sharma, Dushyant Gupta . A Review of Sensors and Their Application in Internet of Things (IOT). International Journal of Computer Applications. 174, 24 ( Mar 2021), 27-34. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921148
Internet of Things (IOT) reflects advantages of information centric sensor network (ICSN), wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN). The IOT becomes smarter and intelligent when combined with smart sensors. Application of sensors is one of the identified standards of technology by researchers of IOT. IOT allows communication among people and machine everywhere. The connection may employ any random path in the network and offers much application. Sensor gave new edge to IOT. A large number of sensors communicate and transfer information to serve value – added services. Sensor paves application as supply chain management, military, irrigation, aerospace, automobile, retail. Wireless sensor network (WSN) and single sensor provides smart parking, lightning, traffic management, smart water and agriculture, structural health, military, smart buildings and transport system, etc. This article presents a comprehensive review of sensors and its types and significance of sensor application in IOT through internet for the purpose of detection and retrieval of information from anywhere at any time as far as feasible.
