Description
When choosing the technology options to develop a wireless sensor network (WSN), it is vital that their performance levels can be assessed
for the type of application intended. This book describes the different technology options – MAC protocols, routing protocols, localisation
and data fusion techniques – and provides the means to numerically measure their performance, whether by simulation, mathematical models
or experimental test beds. Case studies, based on the authors? direct experience of implementing wireless sensor networks, describe the
design methodology and the type of measurements used, together with samples of the performance measurements attained.
The book will
enable you to answer vital questions such as:
* How long will my network remain alive given the amount of sensing required of it?
*
For how long should I set the sleeping state of my motes?
* How many sensors should I distribute to meet the expected requirements of
the application?
* What type of throughput should I expect as a function of the number of nodes deployed and the radio interface chosen
(whether it be Bluetooth or Zigbee)?
* How is the Packet Error Rate of my Zigbee motes affected by the selection of adjacent frequency
sub bands in the ISM 2.4GHz band?
* How is the localisation precision dependant on the number of nodes deployed in a corridor?
Communications
and signal processing engineers, researchers and graduate students working in wireless sensor networks will find this book an invaluable
practical guide to this important technology.
"This book gives a proper balance between theory and application; it is a book for
those R&D engineers that want to appreciate both why, how and in which domains Wireless Sensor Networks can be best applied." -
Fabio Bellifemine, Telecom Italia
"This book is a thorough and accessible exposition on wireless sensor networks with a good balance
between theory and practice; it is valuable for both students and practicing engineers, and is an essential addition for engineering
libraries." - Professor Moe Win, Associate Professor at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
Audience
R&D communications engineers developing wireless sensor networks, academic researchers, post graduate students.
