Abstract— Wireless sensor networks are ad hoc networks comprised mainly of small sensor nodes with limited resources and one or more base stations, which are much more powerful l...

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...
— A key challenge in ad-hoc, data-gathering wireless sensor networks is achieving a lifetime of several years using nodes that carry merely hundreds of joules of stored energy. I...
— Before a sensor network is deployed, it is important to determine how many sensors are required to achieve a certain coverage degree. The number of sensor required for maintain...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
