Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks have number of sensor nodes with limited energy resources that can be deployed regularly or randomly in the applications area. Compared to conventional technologies WSN plays vital role in major applications including structural health monitoring, hospitals, environment monitoring, defense, mining, manufacturing and industry automation. In WSN reliability of network architecture is the crucial parameter. In this paper the study of reliability of three different topologies of WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) namely star, ring and mesh networks are explained. This paper explains the energy utilized by an each sensor node for during data transmission in each topology. The simulation results will provide useful idea for selection of topologies for sensor network designers for continuous transmission and reception of data for their applications.
