The Internet-of-Things (IoT) revolution is no longer a distant dream. Today, billions of connected devices are seamlessly and pervasively integrated into our daily lives, driving innovation in industries including surveillance, healthcare, urban planning, and environmental and industrial monitoring. These devices, primarily sensors and actuators, form the backbone of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), however, unique opportunities and challenges exist in the adoption of WSNs for any specific vertical area. For the mentioned reason, the global WSN market is projected to grow exponentially, with estimates valuing it at over USD 148.67 billion by 2026 (Source: Fortune Business Insights), while IoT-related investments are expected to exceed USD 1 trillion globally in the same projected timeframe (Source: International Data Corporation). WSNs usually consists of a number of small, inexpensive, heterogeneous, and geographically dispersed nodes, which reflects in limited computational and storage capabilities, and limited energy availability. Based on these premises, WSNs are in charge of (i) monitoring a physical asset and gathering vast amounts of data, (ii) disseminating (to other nodes) or report (to a collective unit) such data over the wireless medium, (iii) elaborating high-level analytics for the scenario at hand, (iv) (possibly) controlling the environment, and (v) preserving the security of the whole monitored/controlled physical asset while implementing all these functionalities. Accordingly, this edited book deals with the design and deployment of WSNs, offering a comprehensive journey from fundamental to advanced solutions. The text is organized into four parts, each addressing a critical aspect of WSN technology. Part I (Chapters 1–3) delves into the core of signal processing techniques crucial for efficient data handling in WSNs. Part II (Chapters 4–6) shifts the focus to the communication technologies allowing these networks to operate reliably and efficiently, even under demanding conditions (e.g. low-energy budget). Part III (Chapters 7–9) tackles cybersecurity, an essential area given the vulnerabilities these networks face in a hyper-connected world. Finally, Part IV (Chapters 10–15) showcases practical applications of WSNs, highlighting their transformative potential in smart environments, from urban monitoring to industrial automation. This structure provides a cohesive understanding of the evolving role that WSNs play in enabling IoT, ensuring readers are well-equipped to harness the full potential of this rapidly expanding technological landscape.
