Routing protocol for wireless sensor network at critical condition

Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed for
monitoring of physical environments subjected to
different applications such as medical, military,
agriculture,industry, transport etc. One of the most
important applications of a wireless sensor network
is critical conditions monitoring such as fire,
leaking of toxic gases and explosions. In such cases,
it is important that information can be sensed from
the physical environment, where the sensor network is
deployed, while the emergency state is in progress.
A great challenge to these networks is to provide a
fast, reliable, and fault tolerant channel for events
diffusion even in the presence of emergency
conditions that can lead to node failures and path
disruption, like dust, fire etc, to the sink that
receives those events.
This book covers detailed explanation for routing
protocols selected from wireless sensor network (WSN)
and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and performed an
investigation of a routing protocol for critical
conditions monitoring applications. This work is
especially useful to companies who are working at WSN
areas, professionals and students who want to perform
their research work in this area.
