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. WSN is basically designed for static sensor network applications, but rese...
