Abstract:

Mobility in wireless sensor networks has attracted a lot of attention in the recent years. Under the mobile application scenes, network topology changes frequently. A Mobilitybased Cluster Routing Protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks that can meet the mobility requirements is proposed. It includes a Clusterhead Election Algorithm and an Adaptive LEACHMobile Algorithm. It gives full consideration to node mobility and the remaining energy. The experiments show that MCR can effectively improve network performance in mobile environments.
