Hybrid radio frequency/free space optical communications for energy-efficient wireless sensor networks

<p>A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of networked sensor nodes deployed to sense and report a particular phenomenon to a base station. Currently, most WSNs use radio frequency (RF) communications, and this accounts for a significant amount of energy expended. Free spa...
