Short description
Ad hoc networks and wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs promise to provide fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing and communications. This technology is being used to link portable computer equipment to corporate distributed computing and other sources of information. This is one of the first books to focus on wireless ad hoc and sensor networks with a concentration on algorithms and protocols, enabling IT professionals, the military, and students learn about the continuous advances in this growing field.
