A predictable mobility-based communication paradigm for wireless sensor networks

The existing research in wireless sensor networks premises sink movement based on random mobility. However, trajectories of sinks in practical applications, for example, soldiers (sinks) movement of a battle field, can be determined in advance. In this paper, we propose a predictable mobility-based communication paradigm that enables data to directly route from a source to moving sinks by exploiting prediction of sink trajectories. Also, we compare the predictable mobility-based communication paradigm with the existing dissemination protocols based on random mobility-based communication paradigm for performance evaluation and prove improvement of the predictable mobility-based communication paradigm with performance metrics.
