Preface

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are new wireless networks used in numerous applications to sense and monitor various physical and environmental parameters. This adaptation is made possible by the advances made in semiconductors, networking, and material science technologies. Due to these advancements, WSNs are being adapted into various applications such as military sensing, physical security,

This book focuses on understanding the design, deployment, and applications of WSNs. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 provides an overview of WSNs and their various applications. Section 2 focuses on various design and deployment techniques and challenges. Section 3 discusses some specialized
