The aim of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is to enhance the smartness in people's life by enabling "things" to "see", "hear", "feel" and "understand" their environment. The initial development of WSN was motivated during the end of the 20th century by military applications in the United States of America (USA) such as enemy detection, battlefield surveillance, etc. Later on, come commercial companies like Bell Laboratories & AT&T started the distribution of WSNs for industrial and business applications. Nowadays, WSNs are widely used for weather forecasting, temperature, humidity, light, pressure, acceleration, object detection, industrial monitoring, and control. Also, the WSNs are the basic building blocks of today's modern Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure applications like smart agriculture, smart buildings, and smart cities, etc.
