This book is a response to the spread of wireless sensor technology into fields of health, safety, manufacturing, space, environmental, smart cities, advanced robotics, surveillance, and agriculture. So far, there has been no attempt to present in a single reference the unique as...pects of wireless sensor system design, development, and deployment in such extreme environments or to explore the similarities and possible synergies between them. The application of wireless sensor systems in these environments has dramatically lagged behind their application in more conventional environments, and investigators and practitioners in all of these areas will benefit from a thorough understanding of the many benefits that wireless sensor systems can bring to solving the challenging problems encountered in such environments. In particular, the authors survey the challenging aspects of the problems and conditions encountered in space, underwater, underground, and other extreme industrial environments and explore the unique aspects of designs and solutions that address those problems and challenges. Connections, similarities, and differences between the challenges and solutions in the various environments are illuminated.

This book focuses on the emerging research topic ?green (energy efficient) wireless networks? which has drawn huge attention recently from both academia and industry. This topic is highly motivated due to important environmental, financial, and quality-of-experience (QoE) conside...rations. Specifically, the high energy consumption of the wireless networks manifests in approximately 2% of all CO2 emissions worldwide. This book presents the authors? visions and solutions for deployment of energy efficient (green) heterogeneous wireless communication networks. The book consists of three major parts. The first part provides an introduction to the ?green networks? concept, the second part targets the green multi-homing resource allocation problem, and the third chapter presents a novel deployment of device-to-device (D2D) communications and its successful integration in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). The book is novel in that it specifically targets green networking in a heterogeneous wireless medium, which represents the current and future wireless communication medium faced by the existing and next generation communication networks. The book focuses on multi-homing resource allocation, exploiting network cooperation, and integrating different and new network technologies (radio frequency and VLC), expanding the network coverage and integrating new device centric communication paradigms such as D2D Communications. Whilst the book discusses a significant research topic supported with advanced mathematical analysis, the resulting algorithms and solutions are explained and summarized in a way that is easy to follow and grasp. This book is suitable for networking and telecommunications engineers, researchers in industry and academia, as well as students and instructors.

The development of the wireless communications environment, especially as related to security, has been relatively stable compared to the issues of fixed Internet. Nevertheless, along with the enhanced functionalities of smart devices, networks and applications, the level of mali...cious attacks has increased considerably. It can be estimated that security attacks, distribution of viruses and other malicious activities increase in the wireless environment along with the higher number of users. Not only are payment activities, person-to-person communications and social media utilization under constant threat, but furthermore, one of the strongly increasing security risks is related to M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communications. This book describes the current and most probable future wireless security solutions. The focus is on the technical discussion of existing systems and new trends like Internet of Things (IoT). It also discusses existing and potential security threats, presents methods for protecting systems, operators and end-users, describes security systems attack types and the new dangers in the ever-evolving Internet. The book functions as a practical guide describing the evolvement of the wireless environment, and how to ensure the fluent continuum of the new functionalities, whilst minimizing the potential risks in network security.

Applications which use wireless sensors are increasing in number. The emergence of wireless sensor networks has also motivated the integration of a large number of small and lightweight nodes which integrate sensors, processors, and wireless transceivers. Existing books on wirele...ss sensor networks mainly focus on protocols and networks and pay little attention to the sensors themselves which the author believes is the main focus. Without adequate knowledge of sensors as well as how they can be designed, realized and used, books on wireless sensor networks become too theoretical and irrelevant. The purpose of this book is to intimately acquaint readers with the technique of sensing (resistive, capacitive, inductive, magnetic, inertial, etc.) and existing sensor technologies. It also discusses how the sensors are used in a wide application domain and how new sensors can be designed and used in a novel way.

Resources allocation is an important issue in wireless communication networks. In recent decades, cognitive radio technology and cognitive radio-based networks have garnered increased attention and study to improve spectrum utilization and overcome the problem of spectrum scarcit...y in future wireless communication systems. However, this has also shone a light on new challenges on resources allocation. This book focuses on effective solutions to resource allocation in several important cognitive radio-based networks, including cognitive radio-based opportunistic spectrum access network, cognitive radio-based centralized network, cognitive radio-based cellular network, cognitive radio-based high speed vehicle network, cognitive radio-based smart grid.

This book discusses the benefits of creating Aware Networks that are a community of components with identities to support self-organizing networks, self-aware networks, and self-healing networks. The author explains how the creation of identities can neutralize numerous well-know...n security threats and how an infrastructure built on top of the networks will be more sustainably and better organized. Case studies provide insight into future business models and suggested security countermeasures.

These next generation standardization activities and related technical discussions are getting more and more interesting because advanced communication theories are consistently proposed, studied, discussed, and finally adopted as one of major technologies in standardization acti...vities; e.g., millimeter-wave wireless communications, massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems and precoding, device-to-device networking. This book introduces cutting-edge technological topics in future mobile cellular and wireless access standardization. With a solid understanding about the candidate technologies, readers can obtain a better understanding for future standardization.
