Key characteristics of IoT sensors in WSNs.
| Characteristic | Description |
| Restricted energy | Nodes must conserve their batteries. |
| Restricted processing | Limited capacity due to low power. |
| Dense deployment [9] | High density for better coverage. |
| Application-specific [9] | Designed for particular sensing tasks. |
| Many-to-one traffic | Many nodes forward data to 1 sink. |
