Forest fires are a fatal threat to environmental degradation. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are regarded as a promising candidate for forest fire monitoring and detection since they enable real-time monitoring and early detection of fire threats in an efficient way. However, compared to conventional surveillance systems, WSNs operate under a set of unique resource constraints, including limitations with respect to transmission range, energy supply and computational capability. Considering that long transmission distance is inevitable in harsh geographical features such as woodland and shrubland, energy-efficient designs of WSNs are crucial for effective forest fire monitoring and detection systems. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that harnesses the benefits of WSNs for forest fire monitoring and detection. The framework employs random deployment, clustered hierarchy network architecture and environmentally aware protocols. The goal is to accurately detect a fire threat as early as possible while maintaining a reasonable energy consumption level. ns-2-based simulation validates that the proposed framework outperforms the conventional schemes in terms of detection delay and energy consumption.

Network layer functionalists are of core importance in the communication process and so the routing with energy aware trait is indispensable for improved network performance and increased network lifetime. Designing of protocol at this under discussion layer must consider the aforementioned factors especially for energy aware routing process. In wireless sensor networks there may be hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes communicating with each other and with the base station, which consumes more energy in exchanging data and information with the additive issues of unbalanced load and intolerable faults. Two main types of network architectures for sensed data dissemination from source to destination exist in the literature; Flat network architecture, clustered network architecture. In flat architecture based networks, uniformity can be seen since all the network nodes work in a same mode and generally do not have any distinguished role.

Routing the sensed data is considered a main challenge in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) because the routing characteristics may vary depending on the network application and/or the network architecture. Since most sensor network applications work in clusters, hierarchical routing protocols have been developed to fit this network topology. This paper introduces the performance differentials for most common hierarchical routing protocols such as Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network protocol (TEEN). The design parameters of sensor networks are analyzed to present a classification and comparison of LEACH, TEEN routing protocols. The two protocols are analyzed using different mobility models using NS2 simulation tool. This comparison reveals the important features that need to be taken into consideration while designing and evaluating new routing protocols for sensor networks.

In order to optimize the network architecture, addressing mechanism, heterogeneous nodes and other functions of wireless sensor networks, this study begins with the issue of networking of large-scale heterogeneous networks. A layered distributed network architecture is proposed, which provides a powerful reference for the future architecture of wireless sensor networks. Based on this architecture, the resource addressing of the corresponding hierarchical network, and the scale and location deployment of heterogeneous nodes such as sink nodes are discussed separately, and corresponding strategies and algorithms are proposed. The research results show that the core idea of the addressing mechanism is data-centric, address-oriented addressing is transformed into service-oriented addressing. Therefore, the proposed LBA addressing algorithm is suitable for other hierarchically structured networks. In addition, although the sink node is taken as an example for research, it is also suitable for the deployment of other heterogeneous nodes such as sink nodes, relay nodes, and base stations. In summary, regardless of the number of nodes or the location of the deployment, energy-saving factors need to be considered. Energy-saving is also an indispensable technology in wireless sensor network technology.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) localization relies on measurements. Availability of, and the information content in, these measurements depend on the network architecture, connectivity, node time synchronization and the signaling bandwidth between the sensor nodes. This chapter addresses wireless sensor networks measurements in a general framework based on a set of nodes, where each node either emits or receives signals. The emitted signal can for example be a radio, acoustic, seismic, infrared or sonic wave that is propagated in a certain media to the receiver. This general observation model does not make any difference between localization of sensor network nodes or unknown objects, or whether the nodes or objects are stationary or mobile. The information available for localization in wireless cellular networks (WCN) is in literature classified as direction of arrival (DOA), time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA) and received signal strength (RSS). This chapter generalizes these concepts to the more general wireless sensor networks.
