A Flooding Strategy for Data Delivery in Mobile Sensor Networks

Abstract

In mobile sensor networks (MSN), MSN may have a high rate of communication failure since the routing path can be broken when some nodes on the path move to other position. So, MSN has to provide a means for low-cost and low-power routing to support mobility of sensor nodes. In this paper, a limited flooding scheme for routing in MSN is proposed to allow efficient energy utilization without requiring any complicated tasks for path maintenance.
