In this paper, we present the Context-Aware Opportunistic Resource-Based Routing Protocol (CORB) for intermittently-connected stationary wireless sensor networks. This protocol targets domains such as ambiance control in smart buildings. Unlike existing context-aware routing approaches which consider node mobility as the main source of disconnection, CORB only considers the nodes' limited resources...
Network lifetime has become the key characteristic for evaluating sensor networks in an application-specific way. In this paper, we focus on Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, which are specific opportunistic networks because of their poor connectivity among the mobile sensors, and thus it is difficult to form a well connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections from the...
The recent technological advances in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSN) have expanded the range of WSN applications. In some of these applications, sensor nodes are mobile rather than static. Also, the recent advances in personal digitals assistants (PDAs) allow the existence of multiple mobile sinks to collect the sensors data. These characteristics require the design of new routing protocols...
Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (mWSN) is one of the rising and emerging technologies for various application of NWGN. The enormous concerns of these networks are energy efficiency and data aggregation within the network. The aim of data aggregation is that eliminates redundant data transmission and enhances the lifetime of energy in mWSN. In this paper, we propose, analyze and validate efficient cluster...
In this paper, we implement a simulation system for single and multi-mobile sinks in wireless sensor networks considering TwoRayGround and Shadowing propagation models, using DSR routing protocol. We investigate how the sensor network performs in these cases. We used the good put and consumed energy metrics for performance evaluation. From simulations, we have shown that the good put of multimobile...
Sensor networks are sensing, computing and communication infrastructure that are able to observe and respond to phenomena in the natural environment and in our physical and cyber infrastructure. In this paper, we present a comparison evaluation for mobile and static sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WNSs) considering TwoRayGround and Shadowing propagation models.

Topology change is the main factor that affects the network life time of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. In static WSN, the topology change is often caused by node failure which is due to energy depletion. However, in the Mobile WSN (MWSN), the main reason of the topology change is caused by the node movement. Since the mobile sensor nodes are limited in power supply and have a low radio...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are generally characterized by long and variable delays due to intermittent connectivity. This lack of connectivity make most of the existing routing protocols in WSNs not applicable in DTNs (The performance of such networks depends on connectivity and mobility of some nodes). We propose in this paper a new routing mechanism for a DTN using WSN nodes for localization...
Sensor networks are a sensing, computing and communication infrastructure that are able to observe and respond to phenomena in the natural environment and in our physical and cyber infrastructure. In this paper, we investigate how the sensor network performs in the case when three events move with special movement path. We compare the simulation results for three cases: stationary, random and simple...
In WSN, sensors near the sink have to relay the data of the nodes away from the sink and as a result they drain their energy very quickly. It result in network partitioning and can significantly limit the network lifetime. This problem is termed as hotspot problem. Recently, formation of hot spot or energy hole near the sink has emerged as a critical issue for data gathering in WSN. In this paper,...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are applicable in vast range of applications and depending on the application the sink could be mobile or stationary. Sink mobility has been shown to improve network lifetimes [1], however mobile sink has to periodically update network about its changing position. This control traffic is non-negligible for low power, limited capacity sensors and induces energy consumption...
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), data gathering using mobile sinks typically incurs constant propagation of sink location indication messages to guide the direction of data reporting. Such behavior is undesirable, especially when the sensor network scale increases, as frequent message flooding will cause serious congestion in network communication and significantly impair the sensor network lifetime...
Recently, many studies exploit mobile sinks to construct large-scale databases for environmental observations or weather forecasting. Mobile sinks travel in the sensing area that sensors are deployed, collect data from each sensor, and uploads them to sensor databases. By using mobile sinks, we can reduce communication traffic and maintenance cost compared with those for wireless sensor networks (WSNs)...
WSN technology applied in the coal mine is a general trend. According to the specificity of the mine environment, this paper bring forward an improving GEAR routing protocol, we call it GEAR-R. We use the hybrid GEAR and GEAR-R wireless routing protocols to the mine situation. Simulation analysis shows that the improved protocol with the mobile node in the mine environment has some advantages in the...
There have been many routing protocols proposed for data dissemination to multiple mobile sinks in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and the protocols regard each sink as an individually distributed single entity without relationship of each other. Recently, mobile group entities have been introduced in WSNs. A number of mobile sinks move together in a group manner, and mobile sinks in the group stay...

Mobile sink brings new challenges to densely deployed and large wireless sensor networks (WSNs). When the sink moves, frequent location updates from the sink can generate excessive power consumption of sensors. In this paper, we propose IAR, an Intelligent Agent-based Routing protocol that provides efficient data delivery to mobile sink. Proposed algorithm reduces signal overhead and improve degraded...
