Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming extremely attractive for both telecommunication and network industry. It is the promising technology to solve a number of present problems and creates new understanding to the future applications. These sensors can influence the understanding of the physical world around us by transmitting signals by sensing the physical around the field of influence of such devices. Such devices can then transmit electrical signals from sensor to sensor through the network until the signal reaches the sink stage. This survey explores the design issues, network services and mechanisms and some applications in this field. It provides an understanding for WSN technology, WSN OSI architecture, and some popular protocols in each layer, the main problems and their solution of using OSI in sensor network.
