Wireless Sensor network : The next big thing after Internet
Recent technical advances have enabled the large-scale deployment and applications of wireless sensor nodes.
These small in size, low cost, low power sensor nodes is capable of forming a network without underlying infrastructure support.
WSN is emerging as a key tool for various applications including home automation, traffic control, search and rescue, and disaster relief.
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
WSN is a network consisting of hundreds or thousands of wireless sensor nodes, which are spread over a geographic area.
WSN has been an emerging research topic– VLSI Small in size, processing capability– Wireless Communication capability– Networking Self-configurable, and coordination

Delay is important for WSN
It determines how soon event can be reported.
Delay is determined by numerous network parameters: node density, transmission range; the sleeping schedule of individual nodes; the routing scheme, etc.
If we can characterize how the parameters determine the delay, we can choose parameters to meet the delay requirement.

Conclusion
Our approach
Firstly, we try to characterize how network parameters such as node density, transmission range determine the hop count;
Then we consider typical traffic patterns in WSN, and then characterize the delay.

Conclusion
Per-hop delay and H hop delay
In un-coordinated WSN, per-hop delay is a random variable between 0 and the sleeping interval (Ts).
Per-hop delay is denoted by d:
