In this paper we investigate the benefits of a heterogeneous architecture for wireless sensor networks composed of a few resource rich mobile nodes and a large number of simple s...
Energy efficiency is a critical issue in designing sensor networks, as the nodes have limited battery power. In this paper we propose to move the BS so as to prolong the network l...
In this paper we explore the mobility of a mobile sink in a wireless sensor network (WSN) to prolong the network lifetime. Since the mechanical movement of mobile sink is driven by...
Mobile elements, which can traverse the deployment area and convey the observed data from static sensor nodes to a base station, have been introduced for energy efficient data co...
In this paper we discuss the lifetime of an battery powered device which acts as a gateway between a wireless sensor network and a standard network. The wireless communication stan...
