Sensor Networks with IEEE 802.15.4 Systems

This book provides an in-depth theoretical look at the data processing and communication aspects of wireless sensor networks, as well as a practical look at how data processing can be done in real ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks. The book provides enough background for the newcomer to the field to understand the fundamentals of wireless sensor networks, while also providing novel analytical frameworks for distributed detection, joint detection and communication, and cross-layer design, making this an excellent choice for those looking for a deeper understanding of the interaction between data processing and communication.
