Abstract

Wireless sensor networks, at present are one of the major technologies which have the potential of transforming the future of the human civilization. Wireless Sensor Networks are being used in various fields such as industrial, medical, military, disaster relief, etc. They have many proposed applications, and with every application come new protocols. Hence, a survey of the existing hardware platforms and communication protocols is necessary for a comparative overview as a first step in the deployment of wireless sensor networks for application to any field. In this paper we discuss the hardware platforms like Shimmer, TelosB, Ember, and two development kits of Texas Instruments. Also, widely used wireless communication protocols which use channel switching mechanisms have been discussed for improvement of reliable communication.
