Abstract-- Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are large collections of resource limited nodes, densely deployed over a landscape. They gather and disseminate local data using multihop...
Mobile elements, which can traverse the deployment area and convey the observed data from static sensor nodes to a base station, have been introduced for energy efficient data co...
—As mobile nodes roam in a wireless network, they continuously associate with different access points and perform handoff operations. However, these handoffs can potentially incu...

—Wireless ad hoc networks are seldom characterized by one single performance metric, yet the current literature lacks a flexible framework to assist in characterizing the design...
— We consider the problem of gathering data from a sensor network using mobile elements. In particular, we consider the case where the data are produced by measurements and need ...
