Abstract
This book presents an in-depth study on recent advances and research in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Existing WSN applications are described, followed by discussing the ongoing research efforts on some WSNs applications that show the usefulness of sensor networks. Theoretical analysis and factors influencing protocol design are highlighted. The state-of-the-art protocol for WSN protocol stack is explored for transport, routing, data link and physical layers. Moreover, the open research issues are discussed for each of the protocol layers. Furthermore, the synchronization and localization problems in WSNs are investigated along with the existing solutions and open research issues. Finally, the existing evaluation approaches for WSNs including physical testbeds and software simulation environments are overviewed.
