Traffic analysis of mobile sensor networks

The paper aims at finding fundamental principles for traffic analysis of mobile sensor networks. An analytical modeling technique is developed to find the main parameters of data transmission in mobile sensor networks. In particular, the applied model allows itself to be treated as an immobile sensor network and a mobile part of the sensor network. With use of the derived relations we obtain the main dependencies for data transmission to the sink of a sensor network and to the clusterhead sensor nodes of this network. The viewpoint enables us to take performance measures for modeling mobile sensor networks. Moreover, the study shows that the proposed model can also be used for ordinary sensor networks which are static.
