The Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) is a system of nano-connected devices, objects, or organisms that have unique identifiers to transfer data over a computer or cellular network wirelessly to the Cloud. Data delivery, caching, and energy consumption are among the most significant topics in the IoNT nowadays. The book addresses data routing and energy consumption challenges and proposes nano-sensing platforms in critical Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). This book covers both design and implementation aspects of data delivery models and strategies in a smart application enabled by the WBAN. It focuses on smart data delivery approaches and energy savings aspects in a reliable IoNT systems.
