In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), during the design of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols, mobile nodes may pose many communication challenges. These difficulties require first a link establishment between a mobile and static node, and then an efficient and effective data packet transmissions. In this study, we propose MobiXplore, a MAC scheme that allows a seamless transfer of communication (handover) to achieve low reconnection and handover delays. Finally, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of our proposal.
