Wireless Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks

This book covers timely topics related to the design as well as the performance analysis and evaluation of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. It addresses the state-of-the-art architectures, algorithms, and challenges, in this vigorous area of research and development. A wide range of topics, such as multiple access, unicast routing, multicasting, broadcasting, mobility management, and energy efficiency, to mention a few, are examined. This book also encompasses advanced topics pertaining to cross-layer design, connection admission control (CAC), quality of service (QoS), security, and A-Cell networks. The focus on two hot wireless research and applications areas (ad hoc and sensor networks) makes it extremely timely.
