Wireless Sensor Networks have come to the forefront of the scientific community recently and it consists of small nodes with sensing, Communications and computing capabilities. The Wireless Sensor Network Systems can be applied to monitor different environments ranging from military to civil applications. It is observed that different protocols necessary for smooth functioning of the network system are highly application specific. Current WSNs typically communicate directly with a centralized controller or satellite. In this paper we survey the different research challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks and purpose of various research Challenges activities is the development of a framework, which is radically simplifies the development of software for sensor network applications and characteristic Features of Sensor Networks.

Current WSNs typically communicate directly with a centralized controller or satellite. In this paper we survey the different research challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks and purpose of various research Challenges activities is the development of a framework, which is radically simplifies the development of software for sensor network applications and characteristic Features of Sensor Networks.
