1. Design and implementation ofdynamicmobile sensor networkplatform
Abstract:
This article presents the design and implementation of a dynamic
mobile sensor network platform consisting of stationary sensors,
mobile sensors, mobile sensor gateways, and sink servers. The
sensor network platform supports heterogeneous protocols in
the network layer and performs ID-basedcommunications to
deliver sensor data from the sensors to the sinks, as well as to send control
and monitoring commands from the sensor owner or administrator to the
mobile sensors and mobile sensor gateways. To provide sensor data
reliably irrespective of the sensor locations, the and
mobile sensor gateways natively support mobility and multi homing and
possess network access authentication and data transport security
functions. The sensor owners can freely install new applications over
already-deployed mobile sensors and mobile sensor gateways. They can
configure the mobile sensors to operate in lightweight or full-function
modes depending on the sensor application requirements or
available networking environments. The technical feasibility of the
proposed mobile sensor network platform has been demonstrated by
implementing a prototype system.
