A Review on Mobility and Mobility Aware MAC Protocols in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks are usually limited with storage capacity, power consumption, computing power and mobility detection. But now a day wireless sensor networks facing a major problem of detection of mobile sensor nodes while doing a periodic detection or continuous monitoring of an event. So, this paper gives a review about different mobility patterns and comparison of Mobility Aware MAC protocols, which helps one for the better selection of MAC protocol in different mobile wireless sensor network applications. This review is the initial part of the research for developing the algorithm to extend the results, which are already achieved in the previous research. General TermsMobility Aware Mac Protocols, Wireless Sensor Network.

Mobility aware and traffic adaptive hybrid MAC protocol for collaborative body sensor networks

“…author CBSNs allows group instead of individual monitoring, such as supervising the condition of rescue teams, the performance of sports team, and the status of employees in industries, in order to observe group activity, recognize the events identified by many persons, and monitor the health status of multiple persons at the same time (3). An illustration about CBSN general architecture is presented in Figure 1.…”
