Abstract

Objectives: To provide more organized literature on wireless sensor network. Method: In this paper, the bibliographical survey has been conducted on the types of wireless sensor network, the real application of wireless sensor network, and the performance metrics that are often used by researchers in evaluating the performance of wireless sensor network. The latest information and references have been further analysed in order to extract key information and mapped into respective subsections. Results: This bibliographical survey contains 450 references related to wireless sensor network that covers type of wireless sensor network, applications and most popular performance metrics used by researchers in solving common problems in wireless sensor network. The list of references covers related research works from 2005 until 2016 and grouped into several subsections based on types, applications and performance metrics. Conclusion: This bibliographical survey covers brief information and criteria related to wireless sensor network that includes types, real applications, and the most popular performance metrics that have been widely used. Ultimately, it can be as source of references to the other researchers in finding literatures that are relevant to their research area in wireless sensor network.

Summary

Introduction

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become the step in information revolution and important research area in computer networking. One of the most common challenges faced by researchers in determining key problems and designing their experiments is to identify the research area and performance metrics that need to be used in solving the problems. One of the most common challenges faced by researchers in determining key problems and designing their experiments is to identify the research area and performance metrics that need to be used in solving the problems7 Often, this is caused by unorganized and large number of available literatures. It is essential to come up with a bibliographical survey that covers the most critical problems and performance metrics that have been used in the area including other important information This bibliographical survey covers the types of WSN, real applications in WSN, and the most popular performance metrics that have been used in WSN
