CALL FOR PAPERS
Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for use in many challenging
applications, such as military surveillance, scientific exploration, and structural
monitoring. Sustainable deployment of these systems calls for effective theory and
designs. One of the efficient techniques is to reduce duty-cycle by listening briefly
and shutting down radios most of the time. Such a simple operation, however,
leads to many challenging issues: how nodes within physical vicinity can discover
each other if they listen to the channel in an asynchronous manner, how nodes are
localized when all the nodes sleep periodically, and so on. These issues become even
more challenging when low-duty cycle operation is combined with the mobility of
sensor nodes in many applications. The nodes’ mobility also causes link failure and
channel fading. More effective algorithms and technologies are needed to solve the
aforementioned issues.
The special issue intends to give an overview of the state-of-the-art issues and
solutions for mobile wireless sensor networks such as low-duty-cycle sensor
networks, delay tolerant networks and so on. And it would like to encourage original
contributions regarding recent developments and ideas in mobile sensor networks.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
A survey of mobile wireless sensor network
Neighbor discovery mechanism in mobile sensor networks
Data forward technology in low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network
MAC and routing protocols for delay tolerant networks
Localization and tracking for the mobile sensor networks
Data collection schemes with mobile sensors
Coding and channel estimation for mobile wireless sensor networks
System and protocol design of delay-tolerant networking
Mobility trace analysis and mobility model construction
Middleware-level approaches for low duty cycling
