Node information in WSN from the business perspective

With the continuous development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), nodes´ information collected by WSN grows explosive, thus brings great difficulty to the monitoring staff on the WSN. Although many distributed theoretic analysis have been proposed, an effect monitor system is still in its early stage. This paper aims at a general framework of monitoring the WSN by trying to propose the most valuable configuration items (CI) and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that may affect the performance of the key nodes. Classifying the nodes´ type by their function in the WSN can help to modeling the KPI of the nodes. Finally, by displaying the monitor´s results to the business staff, it facilitates the maintenance personnel to maintenance the network nodes or network management staff to adjust the network deployment.
