Emerging Communication Technologies Based on Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Research and Future Applications

by Mubashir Husain Rehmani (Editor), Al-Sakib Khan Pathan (Editor)

Overview

This book fills a gap in the existing literature by combining a plethora of WSN-based emerging technologies into a single source so that reviewers can form opinions regarding these technologies. It presents different types of emerging communication technologies based on WSNs and describes how wireless sensor networks can be integrated with other communication technologies. It covers many of the new techniques and demonstrates the application of WSNs. The book is composed of 14 chapters, divided into four parts.
