Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks [chapter]

Stefano Basagni, Alessio Carosi, Chiara Petrioli
2008 Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks  
Data communications. Ad hoc data communication is typically peer-to-peer. One node that wishes to communicate with one or more nodes does so using one of the many available protocols.  ...  These nodes can be either static or mobile, and are usually constrained as for the most critical resources, such as power and computation capabilities.  ...  Sensor nodes learn about the sink whereabouts at given times via statistics techniques as well as methods from distributed reinforcement learning.  ...
