Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide several types of applications providing comfortable and smart-economic life. Energy saving minimizing the rare sources of energy, noise and atmospheric monitoring reducing the pollution, and healthcare monitoring helping the health are examples of important applications in WSNs.Any application requires communication between the sensors and the different kinds of servers. This communication can be performed using three main access technology architectures. These architectures profit from important wireless communication technologies such as IEEE 802.15.3 and IEEE 802.15.4 for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), IEEE 802.11g and 802.11n for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) for Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN).In order to enhance application performance, the routing strategies discovering the best path to the destination, the energy-saving methods maximizing the life of sensors, and security protocols guarantying our privacy are the most important techniques used in WSNs. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
