This publication represents the best thinking and solutions to amyriad of contemporary issues in wireless networks. Coverageincludes wireless LANs, multihop wireless networks, and sensornetworks. Readers are provided with insightful guidance in tacklingsuch issues as architecture, protocols, modeling, analysis, andsolutions. The book also highlights economic issues, market trends,emerging, cutting-edge applications, and new paradigms, such asmiddleware for RFID, smart home design, and "on-demand business" inthe context of pervasive computing.
Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks is divided into threedistinct parts:
* Recent Advances in Wireless LANs and Multihop WirelessNetworks
* Recent Advances and Research in Sensor Networks
* Middleware, Applications, and New Paradigms
In developing this collected work, the editors have emphasized twoobjectives:
* Helping readers bridge the gap and understand the relationshipbetween practice and theory
* Helping readers bridge the gap and understand the relationshipsand common links among different types of wireless networks
Chapters are written by an international team of researchers andpractitioners who are experts and trendsetters in their fields.Contributions represent both industry and academia, including IBM,National University of Singapore, Panasonic, Intel, and SeoulNational University.
Students, researchers, and practitioners who need to stay abreastof new research and take advantage of the latest techniques inwireless communications will find this publication indispensable.Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks provides a clear sense ofwhere the industry is now, what challenges it faces, and where itis heading.
