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 is the first book that introduces the energy efficient wireless sensor network techniques and protocols. The text covers the theoretical as well as the practical requirements to conduct and trigger new experiments and project ideas.

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.

The topics covered within this book are intended for researchers, computer engineers, applied mathematicians, and graduate students interested in wireless sensor networks, but uninformed readers may also find this volume stimulating and ...
