Learn all you need to know about wireless sensor networks!
Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networksprovides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wirelesssensor networks.
The authors give an overview of the state-of-the-art, puttingall the individual solutions into perspective with one andother. Numerous practical examples, case studies andillustrations demonstrate the theory, techniques and resultspresented. The clear chapter structure, listing learningobjectives, outline and summarizing key points, help guide thereader expertly through the material.
Protocols and Architectures for Wireless SensorNetworks:
* Covers architecture and communications protocols in detail withpractical implementation examples and case studies.
* Provides an understanding of mutual relationships anddependencies between different protocols and architecturaldecisions.
* Offers an in-depth investigation of relevant protocolmechanisms.
* Shows which protocols are suitable for which tasks within awireless sensor network and in which circumstances they performefficiently.
* Features an extensive website with the bibliography, PowerPointslides, additional exercises and worked solutions.
This text provides academic researchers, graduate students incomputer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering,as well as practitioners in industry and research engineers with anunderstanding of the specific design challenges and solutions forwireless sensor networks.

"I am deeply impressed by the book of Karl & Willig. It isby far the most complete source for wireless sensor networks...Thebook covers almost all topics related to sensor networks, gives anamazing number of references, and, thus, is the perfect source forstudents, teachers, and researchers. Throughout the book the readerwill find high quality text, figures, formulas, comparisons etc. -all you need for a sound basis to start sensor networkresearch."''
