Protocols And Architectures For Wireless Sensor Networks

0.0

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. About The Author Holger Karl is currently assistant professor in the Networking Group (Prof. Adam Wolisz) at the Technical University of Berlin. His research interests focus on wireless and mobile networks, with a certain emphasis on ad-hoc networks. He has published numerous papers and research articles in international journals (e.g. IEEE, IEE, CPE). Andreas Willig is currently assistant professor at the University of Potsdam. His areas of interest comprise communication networks (wireless LANs, real-time systems and ad-hoc and sensor networks) and performance evaluation. Table Of Contents Introduction.
