Abstract

The wireless sensor network consists of homogenous sensor nodes with limited energy and computational power which are self organisable. These nodes use radio frequency channels to communicate with each other wirelessly. Besides that wireless sensor networks are resource constrained with low energy and low bandwidth along with shorter communication range. The evolution of VLSI circuit technology has also enabled the development of wireless sensor networks. The ease of deployment and low cost availability of sensor devices has attracted much advancement in wireless sensor networks. The nodes with capabilities of sensing and computing help the administrator to observe particular environment like battle field, climatic conditions and weather forecasting in remote areas etc. This dissertation research is about the study of performance challenges in wireless sensor networks using Sensor Protocol for Information via Negotiation(SPIN) protocol under various security threats and to analyse their impact on SPIN. The empirical study has been carried to validate the issues studied in literature review by simulating the scenarios. On the basis of achieved observations the inference is drawn about the better protocol in sensor network and future recommendations are made for the analysis and enhancement.
