MASC:A Sweep Coverage Approach with Mobile-assisted Carriers
Jiliu Zhou · Journal of Sichuan University · 2010
In order to improve the performance of Sweep Coverage,a novel sweep coverage approach with two-tier architecture named MASC(Mobile-Assisted Sweep Coverage) was proposed by using mobile-assisted carriers to help data delivery.In the first tier of MASC,mobile sensor nodes were attached to POIs for information gathering.Mobile-Assisted carriers were introduced in the second tier to transfer data from mobile sensor nodes to sink node.Simulation results showed that MASC achieves better performance than existing approaches.
