This dissertation presents efficient routing and channel assignment schemes for interference avoidance in wireless mesh networks (WMNs).

In this dissertation, we design distributed routing protocols for minimizing energy consumption in a sensor network. There are two main contributions of this work.

User demand for seamless connectivity has encouraged the development of alternatives to traditional communications infrastructure networks.

Recent work in designing of routing protocols in wireless sensor networks has progressed in an interesting direction, namely energy efficient protocol for a common objective of prolonging the network lifetime.

This thesis develops and evaluates a harvesting aware routing protocol for data collection applications in wireless sensor networks.

The book is interesting for researchers, developers and students in the field of sensors, wireless sensors, WSNs, IoT and manifold application fields using related technologies. The book is organized in four major parts.

This book describes the different technology options – MAC protocols, routing protocols, localisation and data fusion techniques – and provides the means to numerically measure their performance, whether by simulation, mathematical ...

The book is a collection of outstanding technical research and industrial papers covering new research results, with a wide range of features within the 5G-and-beyond framework.

Unlike other books on wireless sensor networks that focus on limited topics in the field, this book is a broad introduction that covers all the major technology, standards, and application topics.
