Fundamentals of wireless sensor networks: theory and practice

The Anatomy of Wireless Sensor Networks provides readers with an in-depth discussion of what wireless sensor networks are, their practical applications andtheir anatomy. The anatomy of wireless sensor networks will be explained using a multidimensional approach. The first dimension focuses on wireless sensor nodes. The second dimension focuses on the networking aspect of WSNs and offers a comparison with the OSI model. The layers discussed within the networking section include the physical layer, the medium access layer, the network layer, the transportation layer and the application layer. The third dimension addresses the management aspect at various layers, focusing on power management, mobility management, time synchronisation, task management and security. The Anatomy of Wireless Sensor Networks also features a case study which will give readers a comprehensive understanding of what a wireless sensor network looks like and of how WSNs can be practically deployed.
