INTRODUCTION
1.1 WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
The physical environment comprises assorted informative
sources like heat, light, temperature, movement, seismic waves, etc. These
real-world entities are to be sensed and processed for better observation and
analysis of the environment. Information is usually sensed from multiple
environmental sources for which Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) serve as an
ease of deployment for gathering diverse information. Wireless Sensor
Network comprises of geographically disbursed sensors devices that are
capable of monitoring the physical environment to gather information and
relay the same to a main node/ base station (Gauri Kalnoor et al. 2018). The
nodes in the network communicate in a co-operative manner through wireless
medium
