Questions and Answers

What are the main applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)?

  • Healthcare monitoring, financial transactions, and energy production
  • Surveillance, machine failure diagnosis, and environmental/biological detection (correct)
  • Telecommunication, data storage, and gaming
  • Weather forecasting, social media, and transportation management
  • What are the common characteristics of homogeneous sensor networks?

  • Color, shape, size, and weight
  • Internet connectivity, processing speed, memory capacity, and battery life
  • Temperature sensitivity, sound detection, visual perception, and motion tracking
  • Power, Processing, Storage, and Radio capabilities (correct)
  • What distinguishes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) from ad hoc networks?

  • WSN consists of sensors working together to sense physical phenomena; ad hoc networks do not have this specific purpose (correct)
  • Ad hoc networks are more secure than WSN due to their dynamic nature
  • Ad hoc networks have self-organizing capabilities; WSN do not require self-organization
  • WSN use only wired connections while ad hoc networks are wireless
  • What is the purpose of protocols and algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks?
