From the Back Cover

Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks begins with an introduction to wireless sensor networks and their fundamental concepts. Hardware components, operating systems, protocols, and algorithms that make up the anatomy of a sensor node are described in chapter two. Properties of wireless communications, medium access protocols, wireless links, and link estimation protocols are described in chapter three and chapter four. Routing basics and metrics, clustering techniques, time synchronization and localization protocols, as well as sensing techniques are introduced in chapter five through nine. The concluding chapter summarizes the learnt methods and shows how to use them to deploy real-world sensor networks in a structured way.

• Presents state-of-the-art protocols and algorithms
• Includes end-of-chapter summaries, exercises, and references
• For students, there are hardware overviews, reading links, programming examples, and tests available at http://comnets.uni-bremen.de/wsn-book/

This book is intended for graduate and undergraduate students interested in learning about wireless sensor networks. Only minimal experience with programming and an understanding of basic computer science concepts is necessary to understand the material included in the book.
