This book aims to provide a wide coverage of key technologies in wireless ad hoc networks including networking architectures and protocols, cross-layer architectures, localization and location tracking, power management and energy-efficient design, power and topology control, time synchronization, coverage issues, middleware and software design, data gathering and processing, embedded network-oriented operating systems, mobility management, self-organization and governance, QoS and real-time issues, security and dependability issues, integrated wired/wireless/sensor networks and systems, applications, modeling and performance evaluation,implementation experience, and measurements. We believe that there is no other existing book that brings the concept—ad hoc networking—together with its key technologies and applications over the platforms—personalarea, sensory-area, and local-area networks—in a single work.
The book contains three parts and each part has several self-contained chapters written by experts and researchers from around the world.
The potential audience for this book includes researchers and students who want to specialize in the field of computer science and electrical engineering, professionals and engineers who are designers or planners for wireless sensory-, personal-, and local-area networks, and those who are interested in the ubiquitous/pervasive environment.
