A Mobile Agents-Based Real-time Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Network Access on the Internet
Jieyin Bai, Chuanzhi Zang, Tianran Wang, Haibin Yu · 2006
Due to the variety of applications and their importance, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) would need to be connected to the Internet. Some approaches have been proposed to connect wireless sensor networks to the existing TCP/IP networks, such as the application-level gateways or overlay networks. However, most existing approaches have to consume network bandwidth and node energy to maintain the static network structure which is neither scalable nor reliable. In this paper, we describe the mobile agent based real-time (MBR) mechanism which use of the mobile software agent (MSA) paradigm to design a dynamic infrastructure for WSNs access on the Internet. We present a agent migration protocol based on reinforcement learning method to reduce the query delay and improve the total performance
