Wireless Sensor Network: Intricate modeling and analysis of CNT and MEMS based sensor nodes

We have analyzed the effect of innovations in Nanotechnology on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and have modeled Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based sensor nodes. SUGAR library in MATLAB has been used to illustrate the static analysis of deflection, display the structure and to compute the displacement parameters of a cantilever beam subjected to an external force. A WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) model has been programmed using Simulink in MATLAB. We have shown the integration of CNT in WSN as CNT based sensors, microprocessors, batteries etc. A proposition is put forward by us on the changes needed in the existing sensor node structure to improve its efficiency and to facilitate and enhance the assimilation of CNT based devices in a WSN. We have shown the functioning of CNT based Nano devices in WSN technology. Finally we have commented on the challenges that exist in this technology and described the important factors that need to be kept under consideration for the calculation of the reliability of CNT based devices and their key effects on the WSN environment.
