Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks (PDF)

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.

"I am deeply impressed by the book of Karl & Willig. It is
by far the most complete source for wireless sensor networks...The
book covers almost all topics related to sensor networks, gives an
amazing number of references, and, thus, is the perfect source for
students, teachers, and researchers. Throughout the book the reader
will find high quality text, figures, formulas, comparisons etc. -
all you need for a sound basis to start sensor network
research."
