Objectives: To provide more organized literature on wireless sensor network. Method: In this paper, the bibliographical survey has been conducted on the types of wireless sensor network, the real application of wireless sensor network, and the performance metrics that are often used by researchers in evaluating the performance of wireless sensor network. The latest information and references have been further analysed in order to extract key information and mapped into respective subsections. Results: This bibliographical survey contains 450 references related to wireless sensor network that covers type of wireless sensor network, applications and most popular performance metrics used by researchers in solving common problems in wireless sensor network. The list of references covers related research works from 2005 until 2016 and grouped into several subsections based on types, applications and performance metrics. Conclusion: This bibliographical survey covers brief information and criteria related to wireless sensor network that includes types, real applications, and the most popular performance metrics that have been widely used. Ultimately, it can be as source of references to the other researchers in finding literatures that are relevant to their research area in wireless sensor network.
