In many situations, it is essential to assess the performance of sensor networks and smart systems. Please briefly describe the following aspects of a sensor network:
(a)[10] What are the three methods of assessing performance and what are their pros and cons?
(b)[15] In a sensor network, sensors do not have ability to directly communicate with the other sensors. So, they help each other in relaying the information from one node to the next until the information reaches its destination. What are the various components of delay for transporting information from a sender to a receiver? Please describe these components of delay.
Problem #3 [25]:Consider applications of sensor networks and smart systems in the field of energy. Please describe two examples (of your choice) of these applications in transportation and their impact.
Problem #4 [25]:Consider applications of sensor networks and smart systems in the field of Agriculture. Please describe two examples (of your choice) of these applications in healthcare and their impact.
