The third edition of this hands-on textbook pursues the focus on the principles of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), their applications, their protocols and standards, and their analysis and test tools; a meticulous care has been accorded to the definitions and terminology. To make WSNs felt and seen, the adopted technologies as well as their manufacturers are presented in detail. In introductory computer networking books, chapters sequencing follows the bottom up or top down architecture of the seven layers protocol. This book is some more steps after, both horizontally and vertically, the view and understanding are getting clearer, chapters ordering is based on topics significance to the elaboration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) concepts and issues.

Networking is a field of integration, of hardware and software, protocols and standards, simulation and testbeds, wired and wireless, VLSI and communication; it is an orchestrated harmony that collaborates dependably, all for the good of a connected, well-performing network. That is the charm of networking, of life in a civilization that recognizes differences and goes on.

In introductory computer networking books, chapters sequencing follows the bottom up or top down architecture of the seven layers protocol. This book is more moves ahead, both horizontally and vertically, the view and understanding are getting clearer, chapters ordering is based on topics significance to the elaboration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) concepts and issues.

An in-depth focus is accorded to the notions of WSNs, their applications, and their analysis tools, and meticulous care has been accorded to the definitions and terminology. To make WSNs felt and seen, the adopted technologies as well as their manufacturers are presented in detail. With such a depth, this book is intended for a wide audience, it is meant to be helper and motivator, for both senior undergraduates and postgraduates as well as researchers and practitioners; concepts and WSNs-related applications are laid out, research and practical issues are backed by appropriate literature, and new trends are put under focus. For senior undergraduate students, it familiarizes with conceptual foundations, applications, and practical projects implementations. For graduate students and researchers, energy-efficient routing protocols, transport layer protocols, and cross-layering protocols approach are presented. Testbeds and simulators provide a must-follow emphasis on the analysis methods and tools for WSNs. For practitioners, besides applications and deployment, the manufacturers and components of WSNs at several platforms and testbeds are fully explored.

The contents of this edition are distributed over five parts. Part I (WSNs Concepts and Applications) includes Chaps. 1, 2, and 3. Part II (Network and Transport Layers, Cross-Layering) comprises Chaps. 4, 5, and 6. Part III (WSNs Experimentation and Analysis) is composed of Chaps. 7 and 8. Part IV (WSNs Manufacturers and Datasheets) contains Chaps. 9 and 10.
