An energy efficient technique for time sensitive application using MC-WSN

This paper proposes a novel energy efficient scheme for time-sensitive applications. In conventional sensor networks with mobile access point (SENMA), the mobile access points(MAs) moves through the network to collect information directly from sensor nodes. In SENMA incorporated with mobile co-ordinated wireless sensor network (MC-WSN) architecture, the sensor nodes communicate with cluster heads (CHs) rather than mobile access points. The implementation of MC-WSN architecture eventually minimises the number of hops. In contrast with SENMA, the throughput in SENMA incorporated with MC-WSN is independent of the physical speed of MA. Systematic examination of the performance of MC-WSN indicates a much higher throughput thereby making this scheme energy efficient and reliable.
