Azzedine Boukerche 
Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks 

A one-stop resource for the use of algorithms and protocols in
wireless sensor networks

From an established international researcher in the field, this
edited volume provides readers with comprehensive coverage of the
fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless sensor networks.
It identifies the research that needs to be conducted on a number
of levels to design and assess the deployment of wireless sensor
networks, and provides an in-depth analysis of the development of
the next generation of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks.

Divided into nineteen succinct chapters, the book covers:
mobility management and resource allocation algorithms;
communication models; energy and power consumption algorithms;
performance modeling and simulation;

authentication and reputation mechanisms; algorithms for
wireless sensor and mesh networks; and algorithm methods for
pervasive and ubiquitous computing; among other topics.

Complete with a set of challenging exercises, this book is a
valuable resource for electrical engineers, computer engineers,
network engineers, and computer science specialists. Useful for
instructors and students alike, Algorithms and Protocols for
Wireless Sensor Networks is an ideal textbook for advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science, electrical
engineering, and network engineering.
