Finally a book on Wireless Sensor Networks that covers realworld applications and contains practical advice!
Kuorilehto et al. have written the first practicalguide to wireless sensor networks. The authors draw on theirexperience in the development and field-testing of autonomouswireless sensor networks (WSNs) to offer a comprehensive referenceon fundamentals, practical matters, limitations and solutions ofthis fast moving research area.
Ultra Low Energy Wireless Sensor Networks inPractice:
* Explains the essential problems and issues in real wirelesssensor networks, and analyzes the most promising solutions.
* Provides a comprehensive guide to applications, functionality,protocols, and algorithms for WSNs.
* Offers practical experiences from new applications and theirfield-testing, including several deployed networks.
* Includes simulations and physical measurements for energyconsumption, bit rate, latency, memory, and lifetime.
* Covers embedded resource-limited operating systems, middlewareand application software.
Ultra Low Energy Wireless Sensor Networks in Practicewill prove essential reading for Research Scientists, advancedstudents in Networking, Electrical Engineering and Computer Scienceas well as Product Managers and Design Engineers.
