**11. Challenges in wireless sensor nodes in various ways for an application**

Challenges in WSN are listed in **Table 3**.



wireless sensor network nodes are connected to goods (mostly food because of their perishable nature). The goods are loaded from a storehouse or warehouse to a good carrier vehicle, in which their nodes need to be self-organize and form a network of nodes, which can forward information of the goods' from one state to the outside world using a gateway (e.g. a telematics unit). Logistics benefits clearly from Wireless Sensor Networks. However, the

requirements of logistics for applicable WSNs are challenging.
