This paper addresses the problem of data acquisition in ad hoc and sensor networks with mobile sinks and proposes a protocol based on swarm intelligence, SIMPLE, to route data in s...
— 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...
