What is Throughput

WSN consists of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors for monitoring the physical conditions of the universe and organizing the collected data at a central location. WSN incorporates a gateway that provides wireless connectivity back to the wired world and distributed sensor nodes. Various applications have been proposed for WSN like Ecosystem and Seismic monitoring, where deployment of nodes in a suitable manner is of an immense concern. Currently, sensor nodes are mobile in nature and they are deployed at an accelerated pace. This chapter focuses on developing the mobile nodes in an apt technique to meet the needs of WSNs properly. It considers the swarm intelligence-based movement strategies with the assistance of local communications through which the randomly deployed sensors can arrange themselves to reach the optimal placement to meet the issues like lower cost, lower power consumption, simpler computation, and better sensing of the total area.
