Unlike traditional multihop forwarding among homogeneous static sensor nodes, use of mobile devices for data collection in wireless sensor networks has recently been gathering more...
Due to the special characteristics (limited battery power, limited computing capability, low bandwidth, need to collect sensor data from multiple fixed-location source nodes to a...
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, the ...
We analyze an architecture based on mobility to address the problem of energy efficient data collection in a sensor network. Our approach exploits mobile nodes present in the senso...
— Sensor deployments may be static, but researchers have recently been making a case for mobile collector nodes to enhance data acquisition. Since mobile nodes are often more pri...
