无线传感器执行器网络综述

Overview of Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks

无线传感器执行器网络是在无线传感器网络基础上引入若干执行器节点衍生出来的一种新型网络模型;它不仅能够感知环境信息、处理数据,还能够主动与监测环境进行交互,执行相应的任务。介绍了无线传感器执行器网络的体系结构、节点硬件结构、协作机制和通信协议,并对近年来国内外研究进展进行了综述,指出了未来的研究方向。

The wireless sensor and actor networks（WSANs） derived from wireless sensor networks not only can sense the change of the environment,but also interact with it and perform appropriate actions.This paper reviewed the architecture,hardware structure,coordination mechanism between different nodes,and communication protocol of the WSANs.The survey of the recent researches on WSANs was given and future research directions of WSANs were raised in the last of the paper.
