Radio Frequency/Free Space Optical and Radio Frequency-only Wireless Sensor Networks: A Comparative Study of Performance

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of networked sensor nodes, deployed to sense a phenomenon and report it to a base station. Sensor nodes are small and usually equipped with small batteries with limited capacity, and therefore, one of the most important design considerations for WSNs is power...
