This book examines the handoff problem of cellular networks in Part
I and the Power management problem of sensor networks in Part II.
Both problems are key issues in resource allocation and in ensuring
quality of service in the respective applications of wireless
networks. Handoff from one serving base station to another occurs
when certain conditions on signal quality at serving base station
are not met. Power management in sensor networks ensures that
sensors last longer, and therefore the required quality of
information collected from sensors is achieved. Part I will show
the inadequacy of existing criteria for comparing handoff methods
considering many factors that influence quality, and develop a
realistic and comprehensive criterion to do so. Part II focuses on
developing a comprehensive energy model for sensors and their use
to enable new strategies for power management in sensor networks.
The work provides guidelines for efficient and reliable sensor
network design that can be used to optimize energy efficiency
subject to required specifications. It proposes High Powered
Cluster Heads to increase the sensor network lifetime.
