Finally a book on Wireless Sensor Networks that covers real
world applications and contains practical advice!

Kuorilehto et al. have written the first practical
guide to wireless sensor networks. The authors draw on their
experience in the development and field-testing of autonomous
wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to offer a comprehensive reference
on fundamentals, practical matters, limitations and solutions of
this fast moving research area.

Ultra Low Energy Wireless Sensor Networks in
Practice:

* Explains the essential problems and issues in real wireless
sensor networks, and analyzes the most promising solutions.

* Provides a comprehensive guide to applications, functionality,
protocols, and algorithms for WSNs.

* Offers practical experiences from new applications and their
field-testing, including several deployed networks.

* Includes simulations and physical measurements for energy
consumption, bit rate, latency, memory, and lifetime.

* Covers embedded resource-limited operating systems, middleware
and application software.

Ultra Low Energy Wireless Sensor Networks in Practice
will prove essential reading for Research Scientists, advanced
students in Networking, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
as well as Product Managers and Design Engineers.
