Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology with a wide range of applications in military and civilian domains the book begins by detailing the basic principles and concepts of wireless sensor networks including information gathering energy management and the structure of sensory nodes. Assume a couple of sensor nodes are randomly deployed in a region of interest and are connected to a sink the task of each sensor is to detect if an event happened or not namely taking a binary decision each sensor measures noisy signals from the environment and whenever the measured signal is strong enough the sensor. A wireless sensor network wsn consists of tiny sensors which are typically deployed over a far area to monitor the events such as temperature movement pollution level pressure among others.
