There are five types of Wireless Sensor Networks depending on the environment. Different Types of WSNs are:

1. Terrestrial Wireless Sensor Networks: Terrestrial WSNs are used for communicating base stations efficiently, and comprise thousands of wireless sensor nodes deployed either in an unstructured (ad hoc) or structured (Pre-planned) manner.

In an unstructured mode (ad hoc), the sensor nodes are randomly distributed within the target area that’s dropped from a set plane.

In WSNs, the battery power is limited, however, the battery is provided with solar cells as a secondary power source. The conservation of energy of the WSNs gets by using low duty cycle operations, optimal routing, minimizing delays, and so on.
