Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Networks detect events using one or more sensors, then collect data from detected events using these sensors. This data is aggregated and forwarded to a base station (sink) through wireless communication to provide the required operations. Different kinds of MAC and routing protocols are needed for WSN in order to guarantee data delivery from the source nodes to the sink. GinMAC has been simulated for real-time applications, where energy saving, delay and reliability need to be considered. A Mobility module for GinMAC has been implemented. It has been showed that GinMAC can be applied for real-time applications in both mobile and static scenarios. However, further improvements of its performance are needed. Some future plans to investigate this are given at the end of this paper
