This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances inWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The authors describe the existingWSN applications and discuss the research efforts being undertakenin this field. Theoretical analysis and factors influencingprotocol design are also highlighted. The authors explorestate-of-the-art protocols for WSN protocol stack in transport,routing, data link, and physical layers. Moreover, thesynchronization and localization problems in WSNs are investigatedalong with existing solutions. Furthermore, cross-layer solutionsare described. Finally, developing areas of WSNs includingsensor-actor networks, multimedia sensor networks, and WSNapplications in underwater and underground environments areexplored. The book is written in an accessible, textbook style, andincludes problems and solutions to assist learning.
Key Features:
* The ultimate guide to recent advances and research intoWSNs
* Discusses the most important problems and issues that arisewhen programming and designing WSN systems
* Shows why the unique features of WSNs -self-organization, cooperation, correlation -- will enable newapplications that will provide the end user with intelligence and abetter understanding of the environment
* Provides an overview of the existing evaluation approaches forWSNs including physical testbeds and software simulationenvironments
* Includes examples and learning exercises with a solutionsmanual; supplemented by an accompanying website containingPPT-slides.
Wireless Sensor Networks is an essential textbook foradvanced students on courses in wireless communications, networkingand computer science. It will also be of interest to researchers,system and chip designers, network planners, technical mangers andother professionals in these fields.
