Increasing Routing Efficiency in Mobile Ad Hoc Bio-Sensor Networks through Appropriate Node Motions

Abstract

This paper takes up a special kind of sensor network called mobile ad hoc bio-sensor networks and measures the throughput of such networks and suggests ways in which the throughput can be increased. It was found, that, to increase the throughput, no sophisticated routing techniques or expensive transmission techniques are needed. This can be achieved by simply adopting the appropriate motion trajectories/start patterns of the nodes, which, of course, do not come in the way of the basic functionality of the network.
