An Overview of Periodic Wireless Sensor Networks to The Internet of Things

Abstract Through developments in digital electronics and wireless technology, a variety of tiny devices have begun to be used in many aspects of everyday life. These devices can sense, compute and communicate. These typically consist of low-power radios, many smart sensors, and integrated CPUs. Such devices are utilized to establish a wireless sensor network (WSN) essential for the delivery of sensing services and monitoring of weather conditions. The concept of the Internet of things (IoT) is formed in conjunction with WSNs, where IoT can be described as an interconnection between recognizable devices in sensing and monitoring processes inside the internet networks. This paper offers a description of Periodic WSNs in general. It also offers an overview of the PWSN applications and challenges.
