Abstract:
The growth of wireless sensor networks utilization has generated research attention in systems that need to provide certain performance assurances. Nowadays, there is also an increased interest from industrial operations to use sensor networks, due to the low deployment and maintenance cost that they can provide. A number of sensor network applications are envisioned to be applied to industry settings where the existence of mobile nodes (MN) is required. In critical applications, the real-time monitoring of a MN must always be available, something that requires the existence of a suitable mobility protocol to control the handoff procedure. In this talk, we present mobility management techniques that can be applied in critical applications and can efficiently maintain the connectivity of the mobile node by controlling the handoff procedure (triggering and decision phases). The applicability of the proposed techniques were established in both an oil refinery industry setting where performance is critical and the COOJA simulator, which was modified to match the refinery testbed behavior.
