商品簡介
This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research efforts being underataken in this field. Theoretical analysis and factors influencing protocol design are highlighted, and the state-of-the-art protocols for WSN protocol stack in transport, routing, data link, and physical layers are explored. Moreover, the authors investigate the synchronization and localization problems in WSNs, along with existing solutions, and describe the cross-layer solutions. Finally, the authors discuss developing areas of WSNs including sensor actor networks, multimedia sensor networks, and WSN applications in underwater and underground environments. The book is written in an accessible, textbook style, and includes problems and solutions to assist learning.
Wireless Sensor Networks is an essential textbook for advanced students on courses in wireless communications, networking and computer science. It will also be of interest to researchers, system and chip designers, network planners, technical managers and other professionals in these fields.
