From the reviews: "I agree with the author that low power consumption technology is a major issue for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). ... In order to improve the performance of these wireless, networks, the author propose the use of a reliability control based on a polling service, along with controlled transmissions. ... I recommend this book as part of the suggested reading list for a one-semester, advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course on networks." (J. Myerson, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)
