Book Description

0471718165 978-0471718161 March 23, 2006 1
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars many topics being researched, February 14, 2007
This review is from: Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks: Technology, Applications, and Future Directions (Hardcover)
Another state of the art monograph from Wiley and the IEEE Press. Giving a good sense of the latest efforts across the entire range of the topic. Take wireless local area networks. Part 1 of the book has several chapters on this. Covering issues like maintaining quality of service (QoS) while adhering to the IEEE 802.11. Another hot topic is ad hoc mobile networks. These might arise when it is uneconomic to maintain a "traditional" cellular basestation infrastructure. Or other factors intervene. Maybe the region is a battlefield. So any fixed intrastructure is simply infeasible to deploy. For these ad hoc nets, one chapter looks at how to maintain low power at the mobile nodes, while still allowing reasonably high bandwidth.

Sensor networks form Part 2 of the book. Many non-trivial issues arise. Including storage management and security. The robustness of such nets is also a major consideration.

The level of the presentations in the chapters is directed towards professional engineers already in this field.
