Routing protocol for wireless sensor network at critical condition

Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed formonitoring of physical environments subjected todifferent applications such as medical militaryagricultureindustry transport etc. One of the mostimportant applications of a wireless sensor networkis critical conditions monitoring such as fireleaking of toxic gases and explosions. In such casesit is important that information can be sensed fromthe physical environment where the sensor network isdeployed while the emergency state is in progress. A great challenge to these networks is to provide afast reliable and fault tolerant channel for eventsdiffusion even in the presence of emergencyconditions that can lead to node failures and pathdisruption like dust fire etc to the sink thatreceives those events.This book covers detailed explanation for routingprotocols selected from wireless sensor network (WSN)and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and performed aninvestigation of a routing protocol for criticalconditions monitoring applications. This work isespecially useful to companies who are working at WSNareas professionals and students who want to performtheir research work in this area.
