Abstract
In wireless sensor and actor network research, the commonly used mobility models for a mobile actor are random walk model, random waypoint mobility model, or variants thereof. For a fully connected network, the choice of mobility model for the actor is not critical because, there is at least one assured path from the sensor nodes to the actor node. But, for a sparsely connected network where information cannot propagate beyond a cluster, random movement of the actor may not be the best choice to maximize event detection and subsequent action. This paper presents encouraging preliminary results with static intelligent mobility models that are found using the inherent clusters’ information of a sparsely connected network. Finally, a proposal to develop dynamic intelligent mobility models for the actor based on a mathematical model is presented.
