1. Introduction -- Pt. 1. Fundamentals of WSANs Design -- 2. Applications of WSANs -- 3. Channel Modelling -- 4. Connectivity and Coverage -- 5. Network Lifetime -- 6. Technologies for WSANs -- Pt. 2. Communication protocols, localization and signal processing techniques for WSANs -- 7. Communication Protocols for WSANs -- 8. Localization and Time Synchronization Techniques for WSANs -- 9. Signal Processing and Data Fusion Techniques for WSANs -- Pt. 3. From theory to practice: case studies -- 10.

Review: "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."--BOOK JACKET.
