Assessing Data Reliability in Mobile Wireless Sensor Network

Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) introduces significant challenges which do not arise in static WSNs. Reliable data transport is an important aspect of attaining consistency and Quality of Service in several applications of Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs). It is important to understand how each of the wireless sensor networking characteristics affects reliability. If reliability is not managed well, the MWSN can suffer from overhead and hence its applicability in the real world would be affected. In this research, the main emphasis is given to reliability assessment and is being studied by deploying MWSN in different indoor and outdoor scenarios. Results show that the reliability is greatly affected when mobile mote sends data to the neighboring static motes using inherent mechanism used by TinyOS.
