چکیده

We consider sensor networks with mobile access points where data at sensor nodes are collected by multiple mobile access points. Using throughput and energy efficiency as performance measures, we address the optimal coverage areas of and the cooperation among the mobile access points. We show that when the mobile access points do not cooperate in demodulation, disjoint coverage areas are optimal for throughput while completely overlapped coverage areas are optimal for energy efficiency. When the mobile access points decode their received packets jointly, the optimal configuration appears to have a phase transition. Specifically, in order to maximize throughput, the coverage areas of the mobile access points should be completely overlapped when SNR is smaller than a threshold and disjoint otherwise. Length: Regular Paper.

A multiple criteria algorithm for planning the itinerary of mobile sink in wireless sensor networks

The mobile sink can increase the efficiency of wireless sensor networks. It moves in a monitored environment and collects the network nodes information. Thus, by the sink we can balance the power consumption and increases the network lifetime. Determining path of the sink's movement is usually modeled as an optimization problem where finding optimal solutions require collecting value of all the...

A Gravitational Search Algorithm-Based Single-Center of Mass Flocking Control for Tracking Single and Multiple Dynamic Targets for Parabolic Trajectories in Mobile Sensor Networks

Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...

Representing a Model for Improving Connectivity and Power Dissipation in Wireless Networks Using Mobile Sensors

Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...

An Efficient Routing Algorithm to Lifetime Expansion in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. The mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. The mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor node...
