Difference between wireless network and wireless sensor network?
The difference is a sensor network may be connected using wires or wirelessly, a wireless sensor network is always connected wirelessly.
The purpose of a wireless network sensor is to monitor environmental changes. It monitors things such as temperature, sound and pressure.
sensor which is used know about the environmental condition
A heterogeneous wireless sensor network(HWSN) is the network of sensors having wireless link with dissimilar communication range, sensing range or those sensors may be employed in numerous applications. In a distributed HWSN, different parts of HWSN may adapt different network configurations. The answer an be also include energy as basis for defining a network as heterogeneous , If wireless sensor network has 2 kinds of nodes , one type has x times more energy it can be called 2 level heterogeneous WSN and so on .

A Wireless sensor network, according to UbiBot, is a collection of devices that can exchange data gathered from a monitored field using wireless networks. The data is routed across numerous nodes and connects to other networks via a gateway, such as wireless Ethernet.
A wireless sensor network can use any suitable standard or non-standard protocol. Commonly used protocols include ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and other members of the IEEE 802.15 protocol family.
Wireless sensor networks are capable of measuring certain aspects of a physical environment. For example, there are sensors available the measure temperature, pressure, and more.
The human area network is implemented for wireless body area networks. It is embedded inside the body, as an implant, used as sensor devices.
It is the link between mobile devices and sometime it act as an interfaces in WSN(Wireless Sensor Network). Regards Vijayakumar, Tirunelveli
Depending on what type of wireless sensor you have you might need the original sensor bar to pick up the signal
