The third edition of this comprehensive textbook delves deep into the realm of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), encompassing their principles, applications, protocols, standards, and analysis and testing tools. With meticulous attention to definitions and terminology, the book aims to make WSNs tangible and accessible to readers. To enhance understanding, the adopted technologies and their manufacturers are presented in detail, providing a comprehensive view of the field.

In contrast to traditional introductory computer networking books that follow a bottom-up or top-down architecture of the seven layers protocol, this book takes a step further, offering a broader perspective both horizontally and vertically. The chapters are ordered based on their significance in elaborating WSN concepts and issues, making the content more coherent and comprehensive.

This book is designed to appeal to a wide audience, including senior undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and practitioners. It provides a solid foundation for understanding WSN concepts and applications, backed by appropriate literature and highlighting emerging trends. For senior undergraduate students, it offers a comprehensive introduction to conceptual foundations, practical projects, and implementations. For graduate students and researchers, the book explores energy-efficient routing protocols, transport layer protocols, and cross-layering protocols, along with emphasizing the analysis methods and tools for WSNs.

Furthermore, practitioners will find valuable insights into WSN applications, deployment, and the manufacturers and components of WSNs across various platforms and testbeds. The book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in advancing their knowledge and expertise in this rapidly evolving field.
