Abstract: 

Wireless Sensor Networks have found a large number of applications in very short time due to the possibility of diverse applications ranging from everyday use to specialized fields. These networks are playing important role in the dream of ubiquitous or pervasive computing. But due to increasing complexity of tasks to be performed, the network architecture of these networks are also becoming complex at a rapid pace. This complexity is generally in terms of increased number of nodes i.e. node density. The behavior of networks changes with changing node density and therefore the WSN characteristics has to be studied carefully under varying node density.
