This new volume covers the fusion of IoT and wireless communication technology for real-life applications. It discusses the current developments, trends, and latest usage of technology in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and IoT, which offer improvement in many areas, including in enabling smart homes, in agricultural systems, for security systems, for university monitoring systems, and more.
The volume also provides a theoretical analysis and discussion of the factors influencing smart sensing, exploring the state-of-the-art IoT elements that are designed to be analogous to WSNs. It looks at advancements in IoT systems along with a two-way usage with wireless sensor networks that span the gap between the physical and virtual worlds, leading to a hyperconnected society where devices are not only used to exchange data but also are smart devices with more capabilities.
The chapters reveal how these technologies are used in smart homes, for intelligent sensor-based cognitive radio networks, for different techniques for data fusion, for the synthesis and fabrication of nanosensor devices for monitoring agricultural nutrient levels, and more. Furthermore, the fake user problems in WSNs are also investigated with a note on the current trends and the newer trends to come in near future.
