Description:
This book presents the state of the art of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge technologies. Providing essential knowledge of the theory and practice of wireless sensor networking, the text discusses WSN architectures, protocols, and operating systems. It also addresses WSN security and energy efficiency, and includes sample programs. Rather than focusing on a specific area of research, this book offers overarching coverage of WSNs, filling a critical gap in the existing literature.
Review Quotes:
"... theoretical and practical aspects of WSNs are covered. Several communication standards are explained. Various information gathering techniques are discussed. Energy management in WSNs is treated in detail. Prevalent security mechanisms are described. On the practical side operating system and programming related matters for WSNs are presented."

"This book is a handy guide for anyone to learn about the state of the art in wireless sensor networks. The authors are thorough in detail about the ideas and schemes used and also other new ones that have been proposed. The book is divided into chapters as sections of WSNs, and they flow well into each other, culminating in the last chapter where the authors show how the readers can design and test their WSNs in the stimulators practically and implement some of the ideas discussed earlier in the book."
