A new scheme for mobility, sensing, and security management in wireless ad hoc sensor networks

Abstract

The growth of different network architectures to connect wireless sensors for monitoring physical environments has become an important application area. Chief issues related to such systems include: (a) the permanence of environment monitoring, (b) the mobility management of sensors, (c) the ad-hoc communication method, and (d) the security of responsive messages. This paper presents an ad-hoc architecture and communication and mobility schemes to offer an efficient monitoring system in an environment where targets have unpredicted motion. Moreover, it introduces a security solution. The paper concludes by presenting the simulation results in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
