Abstract

With improvements in wireless technology and digital electronics, a variety of small devices have begun to be employed in various aspects of daily life. These devices have the ability to sense, compute, and communicate. Low-power radios, a number of smart sensors, and integrated CPUs are common components (Central Processing Units). These devices are being used to create a wireless sensor network (WSN), which is required for sensing and monitoring environmental variables. Similar to WSNs, the concept of the internet of things (IoT) is growing rapidly, with IoT being defined as the connecting of identifiable items through a connection to the internet for sensing and monitoring purposes. This chapter presents the evolution of WSN and IoT, growth of WSN. It also discusses the applications of the WSN and later the technologies in WSN and IoT are described. Furthermore, it resolves the research issues in the integration of WSN and IoT.
