A protocol stack design and implementation of wireless sensor network for emerging application

This paper describes the design and development of protocol stack for wireless sensor networks for deployment in remote area and emerging applications such as precision agriculture pollution monitoring, wild life studies etc. The real time monitoring system is based on ATMEGA microcontroller along with its associated input/output interfaces and Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4 RF UART for wireless connectivity. The monitored parameters are stored in a database for on-line and off-line analysis as well as decision support on web based method. The developed system was tested at laboratory and results are encouraging.
