Optimizing the handover delay in mobile WSNs

摘要

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.
