Data aggregation using mobile agent mechanism on distributed sensor networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose mobile agent mechanism to efficiently aggregate data on distributed sensor networks (DSN), and describe the itinerary of mobile agent to establish by the sink node. The proposal of this mechanism is to reduce consumption of sensor network energy, network bandwidth and the limited resources. This mobile agent mechanism is based on mobile-agent-based DSN (MADSN) which the sink node migrate mobile agent to the sensor node on multicasting based on the binomial tree. It reduces time-cost to aggregate sensor data on MADSN. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
