Energy consumption is an important performance parameter for portable and wireless embedded systems. However, energy consumption must be carefully balanced with real-time responsi...
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...
Wireless sensor networks have mainly been designed for information-collecting purposes, such as habitat monitoring, product process tracing, battlefield surveillance, etc. In orde...
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...
– While a lot of existing research attempts to extend the lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) by designing energy efficient networking protocols, the impact of random dev...
