Wireless networking and communications are now a major part of everyday life for many people around the world. As access to these technologies grows, there is ever greater need for improvement and innovation to meet demand. Here, the contributors present their research findings on a range of wireless topics to present a clear picture of the field today. In the first part, the authors focus on application-centric design of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The chapters address practical challenges, such as the modelling of underwater networks, the design of radio-frequency transceivers for WSNs, target tracking, and multimedia data processing in WSNs. Part two is focused on recent advances in wireless communications and networks, and offers the reader expert perspectives on subjects including intelligent transport systems, the development of the super-broadband wireless access network, an evaluation of expert reports on the biological effects of radiofrequency fields, and power management in sensing subsystems for WSNs. This is an excellent, relevant text for students, researchers and engineers in this dynamic field.
