Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are spatially scattered networks equipped with an extensive number of nodes to check and record different ecological states such as humidity, temperature, pressure, and lightning states. WSN network provides different services to a client such as monitoring, detection, and runtime decision-making against events occurrence. However, the WSN network still has some limitations in computing power, storage resources, and battery life, which make the network is restricted for data transformation. It is due to less supportive battery power, and limited memory of nodes. The integration of WSN and cloud offers an open, adaptable, and more reconfigurable stage for different security checks and regulating requirements. In this paper, we discovered how WSN and cloud computing (CC) are integrated and help to accomplish different goals. Additionally, a comprehensive study about procedures and issues for an effective combination of WSN-CC is presented. This work also presents the work proposed by the research community for WSN-CC. Besides, we explored the integration of WSN/IoT with Fog computing (FC). Based on investigations, WSN integration with Fog computing (FC) has many benefits with respect to latency, energy consumption, data processing, and real-time data streaming. FC is not a substitute for distributed computing, so far it is utilized to improve the productivity of the sensor.
Highlights
There are two kinds of networks, wired and wireless
We offer a new method for automatically detecting anomalies in heterogeneous sensor networks that combine edge and cloud analysis of the data [56]
We find the existing works related to our scope of study from the reputed search engines like IEEE, Springer, Taylor and Francis, Wiley & Sons, ELSEVIER, and MDPI
Summary
There are two kinds of networks, wired and wireless. The wireless sensor network (WSN) is the most used network for the connectivity of devices and communication. Regardless of the various uses of WSN network and privilege of easy connectivity of devices, the network has some limitations such as data processing sensed by the sensors deployed in the environment, temporary storage of data when a large number of sensors are deployed in the environment, tools and software use, low battery power of sensors, and sensor’s integration in a single platform. Several other problems need to be addressed for applications and the difficulty of the operations in the underlying network Due to these limitations with the WSN network the cloud computing (CC) plays a significant role in the network. The integration of WSNs and clouds can be used in a large number of applications such as transportation, war zones, health, and agriculture [1,2] Disaster surveillance is another region, in which sensor nodes can be used to recognize the tragedy by exact investigated points, to decrease the causality and damage of property. The emergence of WSN and cloud computing services has introduced significant sensor-cloud integration opportunities that will make it easier for users to track their objects of concern via sensors and to employ cloud services to evaluate future directions [3]
