Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks are uniquely characterized by their limited resources and are deployed in remote and hostile environments. These highly dynamic networks are very prone to failure and are usually kept unattended. Therefore, proper management of WSN and its limited resources is highly desirable for an effective and efficient functioning of the network. In this paper, we propose WSNMP, a low overhead, hierarchical wireless sensor network management protocol. The proposed mechanism provides the methods to monitor the network states by collecting management data and accordingly control and maintain the network resources.
