For what applications are direct-diffusion based flat architectures or cluster based sensor networks useful? Explain in detail.
What will be an ideal response?
Applications for a cluster based sensor network:
(a) Security system consisting of an ad hoc network of video and acoustic
sensors.
(b) Wireless parking lot sensor networks to determine which spots are occupied and which spots are free.
(c) Monitoring room temperature and turning on the A/C only if the temperature crosses a threshold value.
Applications for flat topology sensor networks:
(a) Military sensor networks to detect enemy movements, the presence of
hazardous material (such as poison gases or radiation), explosions, etc.
(b) Environmental sensor networks (such as in plains or deserts or on mountains or ocean surfaces) to detect and monitor environmental changes.
(c) Wireless traffic sensor networks to monitor vehicle traffic on a high-way or in a congested part of a city.
(d) Wireless surveillance sensor networks for providing security in a shopping mall, parking garage, or other facility.
