Integrating sensor nodes into a wireless sensor node network

Abstract

The work aims to continue previous studies on the integrated sensor network with the aim of developing, assembling and testing a prototype of a wireless sensor network (WNS) and, in particular, the network configuration stage for integrating the developed sensor node into the WNS. Solutions to the problems encountered during implementation are proposed. One of them is to ensure the safety and normal operation of the electronic part of the unit during the operation of the sensor. As an example, a sensor based on films formed by interconnected columnar grains of ZnO:Eu, characterized with good results in gas and UV detection, was integrated and tested under UV light. Testing of this sensor in the WSN node shows fast response and recovery times. The network configuration and connection of its elements were performed, explaining the purpose of each element and their interaction. The solution denotes the possibility of creating a system compatible with any necessary electronic nodes to be added to the network. This takes into account the possibility of attaching any node to the network during its operation without any complex modifications. The results obtained allow significant progress in the further development of the topic and conduct further research in a more comprehensive manner.
