Wireless sensor networks consist in a deployment over an area, of a cetain number of devices called sensors aimed to monitor their environment by cooperatively sensing information, processing it locally and then transmitting it in a wireless manner to a fusion center in which important data will be extracted and analysed. The range of applications of such networks has become very large: from environmental and habitat monitoring to military surveillance, civil and medical applications.
