Road Map and Future Trends

Conclusions A holistic overview of the characterization parameters. Help designers or researchers to have a complete insight about the possible application requirements or possible outcomes from a specific WSN application area. Proposed classifications Rather than the detailed classification from WSN applications, it provides a tool to understand mandatory requirements for WSN application area.

Other Surveys Concerning the hardware aspects on different WSNs sensor nodes [2]. A classification organized according to the problems dealt by the MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols [3]. Survey addresses the evolution of WSN MAC protocols [4]. Routing protocols [5].
