Objectives:

• Demonstrate expertise in one specific WSN area
• Identify a WSN area/problem that you can improve/solve
• Propose a solution to the identified WSN area/problem
• Provide future avenues worthy of investigation to improve/solve the area/problem

Project Description: Research and create a 4-6 pages IEEE style report on a WSN topic of your interest. Use the template provided to write your report. The steps for the project are identified below.

1) Select a WSN topic for detailed study.

• You may select any topic from the ones discussed during the semester
• You may also search for a new topic of your interest

2) Literature Search:

• Search the Internet for papers in wireless sensor networks in the area you plan to conduct the project (use Google scholar, IEEE digital library, etc.)
• Download at least five (5) papers in your selected topic area

3) Literature Study:

• Study all 5 (or more) papers you have downloaded
• Select one of the papers to study in depth and plan for improvement as the potential project
• (Note: this paper should be the most recent one from the ones selected)

4) Project Report – Your project report shall include the following:

• Introduction:
  • Why this topic is selected for further study
  • Clearly state the problem that you think needs solution/improvement or that your papers address
• Literature Review
  • Review and detailed summary of all 5 (or more) papers
  • Comparison of all 5 (or more) papers you have read
• Proposed Solution Approach:
  • If you could improve on the techniques discussed, how? Provide reasons why your approach is different
  • What would be the approach used to improve on the existing state-of-the-art. Provide the overall approach you intend on using if you were to solve or improve the selected topic
• Expect Outcome and Deviations
  • What would be the expected technical outcomes and why
  • Possible deviation and corresponding mitigation
  • Possible alternatives to your proposed solution approach and why
  • (optional) Summary and analysis of results obtained — if you actually develop proposed work.
• Summary and Discussion
