Topology control in wireless sensor networks: with a companion simulation tool for teaching and research

Topology Control in Wireless Sensor Networks addresses the need for a text that combines the background material needed to understand wireless sensor networks with in-depth material about topology control, which is a very important topic related to this technology; and a companion simulation tool of great value for instructors and researchers. Includes a concrete but thorough description of the most important computer communication protocols and algorithms utilized in wireless sensor networks Provides an in-depth coverage of topology control algorithms for wireless sensor networks, presenting a new taxonomy that includes, for the first time, topology construction and topology maintenance techniques INDICE: Part I Introduction to Wireless Sensor Networks and Topology Control. 1.
