Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks: Technology, Applications, and Future Directions

內容描述

Description

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.
