Recent research shows that significant energy saving can be achieved in wireless sensor networks by using mobile elements (MEs) capable of carrying data mechanically. However, th...
Abstract—We study the ubiquitous data collection for mobile users in wireless sensor networks. People with handheld devices can easily interact with the network and collect data....
In the near future, wireless sensor networks (WSN) performing sensing and communication tasks will be widely deployed as technology rapidly advances. Communication is one of the e...
