Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks, Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks is ideal to deal with the energy aspects of WSNs. It covers all the aspects of sensor networks with respect to energy conservation and optimization. It outlines the mechanisms, techniques, and algorithms of the physical layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the network layer in context with energy efficiency. It delves into energy-efficient security mechanisms and gives special attention to MAC protocols while presenting the current state of the art. This book discusses advances in energy-efficient algorithms using soft computing techniques and comparative analysis of these with traditional techniques. It also discusses the hierarchical network that improves the WSN lifetime and explores operational-level power management and energy harvesting. In addition to presenting other operational processes such as data aggregation, localization, time synchronization, and coverage, this book also discusses open research issues and considers the application and future trends of WSNs. Written primarily for students who are striving to understand the concepts of WSNs, Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks provides direction for budding researchers to explore a new area of research in WSNs. Industry experts and technical managers will also benefit from learning new business ideas and models as well as technological know-how. Book jacket.
