Introduction
This Ebook brings together the latest developments and studies of
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs),
which should provide a seedbed for new breakthroughs. It focuses
on the most representative topics in MANETs and WSNs, such as energy-efficient
routing, backbone construction, multicast/broadcast, resource allocation,
data gathering/aggregation, sensor coverage, target tracking, and
so on. This Ebook is suitable for scholars, researchers and developers
to grasp the most updated work in MANETs and WSNs. Moreover, the
Ebook is a valuable companion and comprehensive reference for graduate
students who are taking a course in wireless networking. Compared
with existing books in the field, this Ebook focuses on general
architectures, algorithms and protocols for both MANETs and WSNs,
and covers heterogeneous networks where sensors are co-existing
with ad hoc nodes.
