Wireless local-area network (WLAN) and wireless personal-area networks (WPANs) are now common tools for many people, and predicted that wearable sensor networks will greatly improve everyday life as we know it. Wireless Ad Hoc Networking: Personal-Area, Local-Area, and Sensory-Area Networks covers the main technologies used in ad hoc wireless networks. Topics include network architecture and protocols, cross-layer architectures, localization and location tracking, time synchronization, QoS and real-time, safety and reliability, applications, modeling and performance evaluation, implementation and experience, and more. This book is novel in a single source presentation of ad hoc network and the application of key technologies related on the platform of personal area, sensory area, and local area networks.
