“…Assuming that a ME collects data from n sensor nodes before going back to the sink, and the length of exchanged data between the sensor nodes and the ME is L (bytes), then the minimum ME buffer size required to avoid buffer overflow is nL (bytes). 17,19,20,23,24,29,31,32,[39][40][41]44,47,[49][50][51][52]55,[58][59][60][61][66][67][68][69][70][71]75,77,81,84,85,[87][88][89][90][92][93][94]100,102,104,106,107,111,112,114,116,11...…”

“…Most of the existing studies in TWSNs that use mobile elements consider sensor nodes' deployment in two-dimensional space, excluding some approaches that use AMEs with changed altitudes. 31,40,41,50,55,60,92,93,107,111,116 In UWSNs, on the other hand, most publications consider three-dimensional networks because the 2D scenarios are not suitable for their environment. Mobility in three-dimensional WSNs, especially in a TWSNs, is still an open issue and is vital for real-life applications of WSNs.…”

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the most significant technologies that gets much attention from researchers due to its promising applications in various environments. Mobility in wireless sensor networks contributes significantly to improving the performance of terrestrial wireless sensor networks (TWSNs) and underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). This research's primary goal is to highlight the roles of mobility and mobile element tasks in enhancing terrestrial and underwater wireless sensor networks. Our systematic literature review (SLR) analyzed studies published between the periods of 2003 and January 2020. Out of 1762 studies retrieved by searching six online digital libraries and other resources, only 107 of them were selected for primary studies based on selection criteria and relevant to three identified research questions. This was followed by data extraction from the primary studies for answering the three SLR questions. The study reveals that mobility plays an essential role in improving network performance in TWSNs and UWSNs, especially in the aspects of coverage, energy efficiency, throughput, and connectivity. The study also identifies the tasks of the mobile elements in TWSNs and UWSNs, including data collection, localization, and charging. Moreover, it demonstrates the parameters of the mobile elements that should be considered when building networks. Finally, this study concludes by highlighting some open research issues that can be considered for future research.

“…In the latter, GTURN suggested a longer path to improve the border coverage, and in GSCAN, two MAN move on the same way in some cases which is inefficient. Additionally, authors in [34] further used three MANs and designed the path based on the LMAT method. All of these methods are used multiple MAN which imposes an additional cost to the network, and some of them have not sufficient performance in corners.…”

“…In the above‐mentioned WSN applications, in order to localize the static sensor nodes that are deployed in a larger field, the mobility‐assisted localization schemes is used wherein mobile anchor (MA) node is employed to localize the deployed static nodes. Using a single MA node for mobile path planning will prolong the localization time and reduce the localization efficiency, and the network lifetime may be affected in case if the static sensor nodes spend most time listening to beacon packet from MA nodes . Employing multiple MA nodes in mobility‐assisted localization scheme serves the purpose of energy efficiency and higher localization accuracy .…”

In common practice, sensor nodes are randomly deployed in wireless sensor network (WSN); hence, location information of sensor node is crucial in WSN applications. Localization of sensor nodes performed using a fast area exploration mechanism facilitates precise location-based sensing and communication. In the proposed localization scheme, the mobile anchor (MA) nodes integrated with localization and directional antenna modules are employed to assist in localizing the static nodes. The use of directional antennas evades trilateration or multilateration techniques for localizing static nodes thereby resulting in lower communication and computational overhead. To facilitate faster area coverage, in this paper, we propose a hybrid of max-gain and cost-utility-based frontier (HMF) area exploration method for MA node's mobility. The simulations for the proposed HMF area exploration-based localization scheme are carried out in the Cooja simulator. The paper also proposes additional enhancements to the Cooja simulator to provide directional and sectored antenna support. This additional support allows the user with the flexibility to feed radiation pattern of any antenna obtained either from simulated data of the antenna design simulator, ie, high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) or measured data of the vector network analyzer (VNA). The simulation results show that the proposed localization scheme exhibits minimal delay, energy consumption, and communication overhead compared with other area exploration-based localization schemes. The proof of concept for the proposed localization scheme is implemented using Berkeley motes and customized MA nodes mounted with indigenously designed radio frequency (RF) switch feed network and sectored antenna.KEYWORDS area exploration, directional antennas, localization, mobile anchor node, wireless sensor networks INTRODUCTIONThe wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of sensor nodes that perform different functionalities such as sensing, processing, and transmitting the data to the base station via multiple hops.
