Bio-inspired mobility in environment aware wireless sensor networks
Sarjoun Doumit, Dharma Prakash Agrawal · 2004
Today's wireless sensors act as information agents, our eyes and ears, for all types of applications, especially in inaccessible regions. But these sensors are resource-constrained devices; the key challenges remain in exploiting their limited time-life. A crucial factor to achieve this is to develop appropriate mobility models that would assure high information coverage of the desired deployed region within the area. We propose a biologically inspired mobility model to direct sensors' movement towards the target area. We show the benefits acquired in terms of data coverage and efficient resource-utilization.
