Riassunto

Learn all you need to know about wireless sensor networks!

Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks provides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wireless sensor networks.

The authors give an overview of the state-of-the-art, putting all the individual solutions into perspective with one and other. Numerous practical examples, case studies and illustrations demonstrate the theory, techniques and results presented. The clear chapter structure, listing learning objectives, outline and summarizing key points, help guide the reader expertly through the material.

Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks:

• Covers architecture and communications protocols in detail with practical implementation examples and case studies.
• Provides an understanding of mutual relationships and dependencies between different protocols and architectural decisions.
• Offers an in-depth investigation of relevant protocol mechanisms.
• Shows which protocols are suitable for which tasks within a wireless sensor network and in which circumstances they perform efficiently.
• Features an extensive website with the bibliography, PowerPoint slides, additional exercises and worked solutions.

This text provides academic researchers, graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, as well as practitioners in industry and research engineers with an understanding of the specific design challenges and solutions for wireless sensor networks.
