The last decade has witnessed an unprecedented development and
growth in global wireless communications systems, technologies and
network "traffic" generated over network
infrastructures.

This book presents state-of-the-art energy-efficient techniques,
designs and implementations that pertain to wireless communication
networks such as cellular networks, wireless local area networks
(WLANs) and wireless ad hoc networks (WAHNs) including mobile ad
hoc networks (MANETs), and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as they
are deployed across the world to facilitate "always on"
reliable high-speed wireless access from anywhere, at anytime to
accommodate the new paradigm of the "Internet of
Things" (IoT).

The pervasive and exponential growth of Wi-Fi and the impact of
bandwidth-intensive applications on the energy consumption of
Wi-Fi-enabled devices are discussed along with energy harvesting as
an advantageous option to power WAHNs.

The book aims to serve as a useful reference for researchers,
students, regulatory authorities, and educators.
