Wireless Sensor Networks: A Networking Perspective

Product DescriptionThis book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the fundamental concepts, major challenges and effective solutions in wireless sensor networking (WSN). Distinguished from other books, it focuses on the networking aspects of WSNs and covers the most important networking issues, including network architecture design, medium access control, routing and data dissemination, node clustering, node localization, query processing, data aggregation, transport and quality of service, time synchronization, network security and sensor network standards.About the AuthorJun Zheng is currently a Research Scientist with the School of Information Technology and Engineering at the University of Ottawa, Canada. His current research interests are in the area of WDM optical networks, including network control architecture, routing and wavelength assignment, virtual topology design, network control and management, protection and restoration, algorithm and protocol design. Dr. Zheng is a member of IEEE, SPIE and IEICE. Abbas Jamalipour is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia, where he is responsible for teaching and research in wireless data communication networks, wireless IP networks, network security and cellular communications. He is technical editor to the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, IEEE Communications Magazine and the Wiley International Journal of Communication Science.
