The last decade has witnessed an unprecedented development andgrowth in global wireless communications systems, technologies andnetwork "traffic" generated over networkinfrastructures.
This book presents state-of-the-art energy-efficient techniques,designs and implementations that pertain to wireless communicationnetworks such as cellular networks, wireless local area networks(WLANs) and wireless ad hoc networks (WAHNs) including mobile adhoc networks (MANETs), and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as theyare deployed across the world to facilitate "always on"reliable high-speed wireless access from anywhere, at anytime toaccommodate the new paradigm of the "Internet ofThings" (IoT).
The pervasive and exponential growth of Wi-Fi and the impact ofbandwidth-intensive applications on the energy consumption ofWi-Fi-enabled devices are discussed along with energy harvesting asan advantageous option to power WAHNs.
The book aims to serve as a useful reference for researchers,students, regulatory authorities, and educators.
