@ Abstract seismic, and video sensors can be used to form an ad hoc network to detect intrusions. Microsensors can also be used Wireless distributed microsensor systems will enable the to monitor machines for fault detection and diagnosis. reliable monitoring of a variety of environments for both Microsensor networks can contain hundreds or thou- civil and military applications.

It is desirable to make these nodes communication pr otocols, which can have significant im- as cheap and energy-efficient as possible and rely on their pact on the overall energy dissipation of these networks. large numbers to obtain high quality results.
