A connectionless approach to large scale sensor networks

We consider a connectionless approach to large scale sensor network. Given a fixed traffic load and fading characteristics, analytical expressions for energy consumption are derived for two types of network architectures: the flat ad hoc sensor network and sensor network with mobile access. We investigate the energy scaling behavior for both data-centric and location-centric applications.
