With classical techniques for data transmission soon reaching
their limitations, cognitive approaches may offer a solution to
user requirements for better coverage, connectivity, security, and
energy efficiency at lower cost. Wireless Sensor Networks: A
Cognitive Perspective presents a unified view of the state of the
art of cognitive approaches in telecommunications. A benchmark in
the field, it brings together research that has previously been
scattered throughout conference and journal papers.
Cutting-Edge Topics in Cognitive Communications
After a review of the cognitive concept and approaches, the book
outlines a generic architecture for cognition in wireless sensor
networks. It then targets specific issues that need to be addressed
through cognition, from cognitive radio and spectrum access to
routing protocols. The book also explores how to use weighted
cognitive maps to improve network lifetime through optimizing
routing, medium access, and power control while fulfilling
end-to-end goals. The final chapter discusses the implementation of
hardware for GPS/INS-enabled wireless sensor networks. This
addresses an important need for real-time node position information
in many wireless sensor network applications and communication
protocols.
Real-World Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks using the
Cognitive Concept
Written in a tutorial style, the book supplies an in-depth
survey of each topic, accompanied by detailed descriptions of the
algorithms and protocols. It also provides a step-by-step analysis
of the various communications systems through extensive computer
simulations and illustrations. Examples cover environmental
monitoring, vehicular communications, tracking, and more. A
comprehensive overview of cognitive communications in wireless
sensor networks, this work lays the foundations for readers to
participate in a new era of research in this emerging field.
