Introduction: Basic Concepts, Platforms, Standardization, architecture and protocols, Applications in military, environment, healthcare, industry and energy, factors influencing WSN Design. Physical & MAC Layer: PHY layer standard (IEEE 802.15.4), MAC challenges, MAC protocols for Sensor Network - Contention based (S-MAC, B-MAC, CC-MAC), reservation based-(TRAMA) & Hybrid MAC (Zebra MAC). Network & Transport layer: Routing challenges, Data Centric and Flat- architecture protocol(SPIN), Hierarchical protocol (LEACH), Geographical routing protocol (MECN), QoS based Protocol(SAR), Challenges of Transport layer, Transport Layer protocols (PSFQ & CODA). Cross Layer Solutions: Interlayer Effects, Cross layer Interactions (MAC-Network, MAC-Application, Network - PHY, Transport - PHY), cross layer module. Localization: Challenges in localization, Ranging Techniques, Range based Localization protocols, Range-Free Localization Protocol. Time Synchronization: Challenges for Time synchronization, Timing Sync protocol for sensor network (TPSN), Time Diffusion Synchronization protocol (TDP), Rate based diffusion protocol (RDP).
