Such an environment may have many wireless nodes which are inexpensive; each node is capable of collecting, storing and processing environmental data, and communicating with neighboring nodes. These sensors are connected with wires in the past but tod... ... middle of paper ... ... in Wireless Sensor Networks: Current proposal and Future Development, IEEE Xplore, Hong Kong, Oct- 2007. 5) Jeremy Eric Elson, “Time Synchronization in Wireless sensor Networks, University of California, USA: ANSII Std 239-18, 2003. 6) Michele Zorzi, “Wireless Sensor and networks: Recent trends and Research Issues’’, University of Padova, Italy, IEEE communication society, Poland, April 28-30, 2008. 7) CHI-FU HUANG and YU-CHEE TSENG, “Mobile Network and Application”, the coverage Problem in a Wireless Sensor Network, National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan, Netherland, senior member of IEEE, 2005, Sec. 5. 8) Ian F.
