Abstract

In this paper we propose a routing algorithm for Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) where all the nodes, sensors and sink, are mobile. We follow a leader election approach to build a spanning tree by using only information provided by neighbor nodes. The leader election approach allows automatic routing adaptation despite node mobility. The routing algorithm has been implemented and evaluated using the JBotSim simulator. We present some preliminary evaluations that show the impact of mobility in the message delivery rate.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Indeed, in static scenarios communication has a probabilistic component as well as communication ranges depend on environmental factors or battery level.

  2. 2.

    The distance is extracted from contextual information stored in the message.

  3. 3.

    The timeout variable has a common value slightly higher than \(\beta \) in order to prevent premature time outs.
