An energy efficient framework for detection and monitoring of forest fire using mobile agent in wireless sensor networks

Forest fire (or wildfire) has been a great threat to the depleting greenery of the earth. If reserved forests of any country catches wildfire, it suffers great damage. So, it is essential to detect the fire early in order to preserve the forest. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been a boon in wildfire detection and monitoring. Timely detection of wildfire is possible with the use of WSN. The use of Mobile Agent (MA) in WSN has helped in increasing the lifetime of energy. This paper introduces a framework that incorporates the use of MA in WSN that can help in faster detection of forest fire and monitoring of it with minimum consumption of energy.
