Abstract

In this chapter, the authors mainly discuss mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). First, the authors are introduce the evolution of MWSNs from sensor networks to wireless sensor networks, and finally to mobile networks. Second, to provide a general context of MWSNs the authors then compare the peer work of MWSNs in chronological order. The third section discusses typical issues including localization, deployment, resource/energy efficiency and coverage issues. Cross-layer design is considered as one of the most useful ways to improve MWSNs in the future.
