As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, an interesting and challenging area --wireless sensor networks-- is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible to make these components, also known as Smart Dust, small, powerful, and energy efficient, and they can now be manufactured cost-effectively. The Handbook of Sensor Networks: Compact Wireless and Wired Sensing captures the current state of sensor networks and serves as a source of comprehensive reference material on sensor networks. Divided into nine parts, each part has four to five articles written by...

Sensor networks continue to grow in importance for modern communication networks. Communication protocols are at the core of these networks, determining their ability to function, their capabilities, and the environments in which they are able to operate. In chapters carefully selected from the popular Handbook of Sensor Networks, Sensor Network Protocols supplies a sharply focused reference on protocols, security, data processing, and energy management in communication sensor networks that is ideal for specialists in the field.
Providing a succinct guide to the protocols currently used...
