Book Description
Wireless sensor networks have become increasingly pervasive with
promises to fulfill many of our critical necessities today. One issue
that has permeated sensor networks recently is mobility. Broadly,
mobility in sensor networks can be categorized into two classes:
Internal mobility and External mobility. Internal mobility is the class
where sensors themselves can physically move from one location to
another, while external mobility is the class where certain external
agents (not sensors) physically move in the network. Both mobility
classes have patent and significant impacts to sensor networks
operation. However, being an emerging topic, a clear understanding of
opportunities and challenges of sensor networks mobility is lacking
today, and hence is an important need of the hour. In this work, we make
contributions in both classes of sensor networks mobility from the
perspective of designing algorithms for deployment of sensors capable of
internal mobility; and modeling and analyzing external mobility driven
attacks in wireless sensor networks.
