Mobile Sink with Mobile Agents

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has been drawing considerable attention and discussion in recent years due to its potential applications in various fields. In modern applications for future internet the MSN (Mobile Sensor Network) is a key factor. Mobility allows the applications of Wireless Sensor Network to be compatible with IoT (Internet of Things) applications. As mobility enhances capability of the network it also affects the performance of the network at each layer. In recent years the various methodologies are proposed to handle mobility. Most of them use mobility for efficient data collection in WSNs. The purpose of this paper is to study effects of mobility on various performance parameters of the network and to explore the effective techniques to handle mobility in network. This paper proposes Mobile Sink with Mobile Agent mobility model for WSN which will increase the lifetime of the network using sink and agent node mobility.

A review on the applications of multiagent systems in wireless sensor networks

“…Also, software MA migration over the WSNs does not come across with the hardware (mobile sink) mobility challenges. 37 The general scheme of using a single MA to satisfy the requirements of the applications of WSNs is illustrated in Figure 2. However, using a single MA in WSNs has the following drawbacks: 38,39 Long delays in the scenarios that MA visits numerous wireless sensor nodes one by one.…”
