Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective (Signals and Communication Technology) (Hardcover)
內容描述
Description
Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective deals
with the emerging design trend that transcends traditional communication
layers for performance gains in ad hoc and sensor networks. The author
explores the current state of the art in cross-layer approaches for ad hoc and
sensor networks, providing a comprehensive design resource.
The book offers a structured comparison and analysis of both layered and
cross-layer design, providing readers with an overview of the many issues
relating to ad hoc and sensor networks. The benefits of these cross-layer
approaches are examined through three diverse case studies: a monitoring
sensor network using Radio Frequency waves, an ad hoc network that uses Ultra
Wide Band Radio, and an acoustic underwater sensor network for environmental
monitoring.
Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective is
interdisciplinary in character, and should be of value to software engineers,
hardware engineers, application developers, network protocol designers,
graduate students, communication engineers, systems engineers, and university
professors.
