Communication Scheme for Loosely Coupled Mobile User Groups in Wireless Sensor Fields

We propose a communication mechanism to support mobility of loosely coupled mobile users in sensor applications with multiple sources. First, we examine problems for mobility support of the loosely coupled users in wireless sensor networks with multiple source nodes, and then study the dynamic sink communication model to support a mobile user with sink-oriented tree based data gathering from multiple sources and data-centric unicasting. Finally, we present an energy-efficient solution to support the loosely coupled mobile users through single datagathering tree establishment with a distributed manner and the gathering tree based data-centric multicasting.
