Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks [PDF ebook] 
Technology, Applications, and Future Directions

This publication represents the best thinking and solutions to a
myriad of contemporary issues in wireless networks. Coverage
includes wireless LANs, multihop wireless networks, and sensor
networks. Readers are provided with insightful guidance in tackling
such issues as architecture, protocols, modeling, analysis, and
solutions. The book also highlights economic issues, market trends,
emerging, cutting-edge applications, and new paradigms, such as
middleware for RFID, smart home design, and ’on-demand business’ in
the context of pervasive computing.

Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks is divided into three
distinct parts:

* Recent Advances in Wireless LANs and Multihop Wireless
Networks

* Recent Advances and Research in Sensor Networks

* Middleware, Applications, and New Paradigms

In developing this collected work, the editors have emphasized two
objectives:

* Helping readers bridge the gap and understand the relationship
between practice and theory

* Helping readers bridge the gap and understand the relationships
and common links among different types of wireless networks

Chapters are written by an international team of researchers and
practitioners who are experts and trendsetters in their fields.
Contributions represent both industry and academia, including IBM,
National University of Singapore, Panasonic, Intel, and Seoul
National University.

Students, researchers, and practitioners who need to stay abreast
of new research and take advantage of the latest techniques in
wireless communications will find this publication indispensable.
Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks provides a clear sense of
where the industry is now, what challenges it faces, and where it
is heading.
