Building Wireless Sensor Networks: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives presents the state of the art of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge technologies.

Focusing on WSN topics ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, this book:

• Provides essential knowledge of the contemporary theory and practice of wireless sensor networking
• Describes WSN architectures, protocols, and operating systems
• Details the routing and data aggregation algorithms
• Addresses WSN security and energy efficiency
• Includes sample programs for experimentation

The book offers overarching coverage of this exciting field, filling a critical gap in the existing literature.
