The potential of embedded systems ranges from the simplicity of sharing digital media to the coordination of a variety of complex joint actions carried out between collections of networked devices. The book explores the emerging use of embedded systems and wireless technologies from theoretical and practical applications and their applications in agriculture, environment, public health, domotics, and public transportation, among others.

The emergence of wireless robotic systems has provided new perspectives on technology. With the combination of several disciplines such as robotic systems, ad hoc networking, telecommunications and more, mobile ad hoc robots have been essential towards the future possibilities of technology. Mobile Ad Hoc Robots and Wireless Robotic Systems: Design and Implementation aims to introduce robotic theories, wireless technologies, and routing applications involved in the development of mobile ad hoc robots. This reference source brings together topics on the communication and control of network ad hoc robots, and how they working together to carry out coordinated functions.

With the increased functionality demand for mobile speed and access in our everyday lives, broadband wireless networks have emerged as the solution in providing high data rate communications systems to meet these growing needs. Broadband Wireless Access Networks for 4G: Theory, Application, and Experimentation presents the latest trends and research on mobile ad hoc networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, and routing algorithms which occur within various mobile networks. This publication smartly combines knowledge and experience from enthusiastic scholars and expert researchers in the area of wideband and broadband wireless networks. Students, professors, researchers, and other professionals in the field will benefit from this book s practical applications and relevant studies."
