    2. Constraints on sensor network design

    Sensor networks differ from conventional networks, where you can be relatively generic and define only a certain number of service classes to satisfy the maximum number of needs. Here, the constraints are more numerous and prevent the creation of a specific type of sensor network. Without being exhaustive, here is a list of possible constraints when designing a sensor network.

    2.1 Application constraints

    It is impossible today to create a sensor network capable of meeting the needs of all potential applications. Measurements can be taken for an infinite number of situations and in highly variable environments, while at the same time having a low or high concentration of sensors; we can end up with dense as well as sparse networks. The difficulty lies in finding...
