Data management in mobile wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Currently, data management schemes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are finding their way in evolving network technologies such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. Many P2P protocols have been applied in WSN to accomplish the same due to similarities between P2P and WSNs. Alongside, there are differences between them too making the P2P protocols inefficient in WSNs. Furthermore, to increase the efficiency and to exploit the delay tolerant nature of WSNs, where ever possible, the mobile WSNs are gaining importance. Thus, creating a three dimensional problem space to consider, i.e., mobility, WSNs and P2P.In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm for data management in mobile WSNs. The implementation and deployment of proposed algorithm in real scenario is also presented. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
