Taking algorithmic and theoretical approaches to dissect key layers of a wireless network, Li reviews practical protocols, formulates problems mathematically, solves them algorithmically and then analyses performance. The result is an overview of the various approaches and insights required to understand and optimize wireless ad hoc and sensor network performance.
