Nice introduction to WSN

The book is great for newbies in WSN. If you to get an overall image on WSNs, this is the ideal book to start with.

A STARTING POINT

A concise and interesting book for the ones that want to start learning about wireless sensor networks (WSN). It presents facts regarding wireless communication, network function and sensor applications implying all seven layers of the OSI model. It includes a consistent chapter about middleware (session and presentation layer) that i could not find in other similar books. It may appear boring for those who know much about WSNs. This book is a very good starting point, but is not suitable for those who want to design WSNs. I give it 4 stars because it has provided me a very good basic knowledge about WSNs.
