Wireless sensor network using Xbee on Arduino Platform: An experimental study

Wireless networks consists of nodes communicate with each other wirelessly. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a special class of ad-hoc networks that integrates sensing, processing and communications in small, battery-powered motes. These sensor nodes typically collaborate on a global sensing task and deliver required data to one or more hubs. This paper presents experimental setup up of creating wireless sensor network using Arduino and Xbee module. This study will serve as a model for almost all sensor network that one would like to build. This is to create setup which will allow to read temperature value form inexpensive temperature sensor placed apart at various location that are mesh networked to gather a stream of input and send to base station.
