Physical Phenomena

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are attracting great interest in a number of application domains concerned with monitoring and control of physical phenomena, as they enable dense and boundless deployments at low-cost and with excellent flexibility. Extensive usage of WSN is the reason of development of any routing protocols. The main contribution of this article is an extensive survey and classification of the routing protocols in WSN. Routing protocols are classified under seven categories (Location-Based, Data Centric, Hierarchical-Based, Mobility-Based, Multipath-Based, Heterogeneity based and Quality of Service (QoS)-Based.). Each protocol is described and discussed with advantage and disadvantages. The challenges faced by WSN are also mentioned in this paper and finally to set the milestone for future work. For researchers, this paper serves as a starting point into research in designing routing protocols for WSNs effectively and efficiently. Any reader who is interested in improving their knowledge of the technical concepts will find a list of references and recent publications at the end of this paper.

In this study, real-time monitoring and control platform based on thermal comfort was developed to control space heating in living spaces. To calculate the thermal comfort level in a living space, environmental factors such as indoor air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, and humidity are needed. In order to obtain the environmental factors, sensor nodes based on wireless sensor networks were developed. According to the data obtained from the sensor nodes, the thermal comfort index was calculated, and radiators used for space heating were controlled via monitoring and control software based on PC. Furthermore, several experiments were performed between living spaces where real-time monitoring and control platform was installed and living spaces heated with conventional methods. The measurements were carried out in four rooms at the Faculty of Technology of Suleyman Demirel University in Turkey during the winter season. The heat transferred from room radiators by creating proper conditions that can change the thermal comfort index was compared in the experiments. During experimental measurements, it was observed that the heat transferred to the environment through the room radiators reduced significantly, especially with closed doors and windows.
