Mobile, Wireless, and Sensor Networks: Technology, Applications, and Future Directions Review by W Boudville
many topics being researched
Another state of the art monograph from Wiley and the IEEE Press. Giving a good sense of the latest efforts across the entire range of the topic. Take wireless local area networks. Part 1 of the book has several chapters on this. Covering issues like maintaining quality of service (QoS) while adhering to the IEEE 802.11. Another hot topic is ad hoc mobile networks. These might arise when it is uneconomic to maintain a "traditional" cellular basestation infrastructure. Or other factors intervene. Maybe the region is a battlefield. So any fixed intrastructure is simply infeasible to deploy. For these ad hoc nets, one chapter looks at how to maintain low power at the mobile nodes, while still allowing reasonably high bandwidth.
Sensor networks form Part 2 of the book. Many non-trivial issues arise. Including storage management and security. The robustness of such nets is also a major consideration.
The level of the presentations in the chapters is directed towards professional engineers already in this field.
