Book 5
This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research efforts being undertaken in this field. Theoretical analysis and factors influencing protocol design are also highlighted. The authors explore state-of-the-art protocols for WSN protocol stack in transport, routing, data link, and physical layers. Moreover, the synchronization and localization problems in WSNs are investigated along with existing solutions. Furthermore, cross-layer solutions are described. Finally, developing areas of WSNs including sensor-actor networks, multimedia sensor networks, and WSN applications in underwater and underground environments are explored. The book is written in an accessible, textbook style, and includes problems and solutions to assist learning.
Key Features: * The ultimate guide to recent advances and research into WSNs * Discusses the most important problems and issues that arise when programming and designing WSN systems * Shows why the unique features of WSNs self-organization, cooperation, correlation -- will enable new applications that will provide the end user with intelligence and a better understanding of the environment * Provides an overview of the existing evaluation approaches for WSNs including physical testbeds and software simulation environments * Includes examples and learning exercises with a solutions manual; supplemented by an accompanying website containing PPT-slides. Wireless Sensor Networks is an essential textbook for advanced students on courses in wireless communications, networking and computer science. It will also be of interest to researchers, system and chip designers, network planners, technical mangers and other professionals in these fields.

Cognitive Radio Networks
by Ian F. Akyildiz, Won Yeol Lee, and Kaushik R Chowdhury
Published 9 December 2009
Cognitive Radio Networks: Theory and Applications provides an in-depth view of the principles and design constraints for both infrastructure-based and distributed cognitive radio networks. In addition, the book includes a discussion on the basic principles as well as advanced topics that govern cognitive radio operation in a dynamic spectrum environment. Furthermore, the authors address both the underlying theoretical aspects of dynamic spectrum utilization enabled by cognitive radio, and provide practical industry solutions that are being implemented. Divided into four parts this book contains: 1) Cognitive Radio (CR) Networks: Overview (physical architecture of CR, network architecture), 2) Spectrum Management for Cognitive Radio Networks (CR cycle), spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, spectrum sharing, and spectrum mobility), 3) Protocol Design in Cognitive Radio Networks (medium access control protocols, routing algorithms, transport protocols, cross-layer design issues), 4) Standards and Testbeds (standards, testbeds).
