Strong Mobility Protocol For Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a group of locally dispersed and dedicated sensors for monitoring, tracking and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collecting data at the central location.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a group of locally dispersed and dedicated sensors for monitoring, tracking and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collecting data at the central location. WSN is basically designed for static sensor network applications, but research has grown from static WSN to mobile WSN applications. However, mobile node and mobile or static coordinators show weaknesses in the standard MAC protocol for WSNs, IEEE 802.15.4 when applied in mobile WSN applications. The aim of this thesis is to overcome the limitations in the IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enabled MAC protocol in supporting mobile nodes and coordinators in strong mobility. The enhancement in the IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enabled MAC protocol is implemented in this thesis for mobile WSNs in strong mobility using four different mechanisms. The first mechanism proposed in this thesis is Fast Association Process (FAP) for beacon-enabled IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol in mobile WSNs for strong mobility in both mobile nodes and coordinators.
