Reconfiguration Methods for Mobile Sensor Networks
Overview Motion may be used in sensor networks to change the network configuration for improving the sensing performance. This paper considers the problem of controlling motion in a distributed manner for a mobile sensor network for a specific form of motion capability. Mobility itself may have a high resource overhead, hence it exploits motility, a constrained form of mobility, which has very low overheads but provides significant reconfiguration potential. This paper presents an architecture which allows each node in the network to learn the medium and phenomenon characteristics. It then describes a quantitative metric for sensing performance which is concretely tied to real sensor and medium characteristics, rather than assuming an abstract range based model.
