Book Description
This book presents an integrated approach to design and optimizing performance for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. It details both the theory and application of cross-layer design approaches. Coverage first provides an overview of design issues in both strictly layered and cross-layer approaches. It offers an outline of each communication layer and surveys existing protocols for each of these layers. In addition, three case studies of diverse ad hoc and sensor network applications and communication technologies are included: RF sensor network monitoring network, Ultra Wide Band Radio ad hoc network, and Acoustic underwater sensor network. The case studies fully illustrate the benefits of the cross-layer design framework.

From the Back Cover
Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2007 Edition deals with the emerging design trend that transcends traditional communication layers for performance gains in ad hoc and sensor networks. The author explores the current state of the art in cross-layer approaches for ad hoc and sensor networks, providing a comprehensive design resource.
The book offers a structured comparison and analysis of both layered and cross-layer design, providing readers with an overview of the many issues relating to ad hoc and sensor networks. The benefits of these cross-layer approaches are examined through three diverse case studies: a monitoring sensor network using Radio Frequency waves, an ad hoc network that uses Ultra Wide Band Radio, and an acoustic underwater sensor network for environmental monitoring.
Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Cross-Layer Design Perspective Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2007 Edition is interdisciplinary in character, and should be of value to software engineers, hardware engineers, application developers, network protocol designers, graduate students, communication engineers, systems engineers, and university professors.
