C.2 COMPUTER.COMMUNICATION NETWORKS  Survey on Wireless Sensor Networks and 802.15.4/ZigBee standards 

Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology for low-cost, unattended monitoring of a wide range of environments, and their importance has been enforced by the recent delivery of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for the physical and MAC layers and the forthcoming Zigbee standard for the network and application layers. The fast progress of research on energy efficiency, networking, data management and security in wireless sensor networks, and the need to compare with the solutions adopted in the standards motivates the need for a survey on this field.
