Controlled Mobility for Efficient Data Gathering in Sensor Networks With Passively Mobile Nodes

Overview A large class of sensor networks is used for data collection and aggregation of sensory data about the physical environment. Since sensor nodes are often powered by limited energy sources, such as battery which may be difficult to replace, energy saving is an important criterion in any activity. Some deployments of sensor networks have passive mobile nodes, that is, nodes that are mobile without their own control. For example, a node mounted on an animal for bio-habitat monitoring, or a light-weight node dropped into a river for water quality monitoring. Passive mobility makes the activity of data gathering challenging since the positions of the nodes can change arbitrarily.
