Abstract
Connecting a mobile ad hoc network and wireless sensor network is the focus of our investigation. In order to remotely access a sensor node from a mobile node, first, a node in the MANET needs to be connected to a sensor network coordinator. The challenge is to consider node mobility and limited sensor battery power. Here, an indication metric determined based on the MANET local information is designed to provide the link lifetimes and helps a mobile node to adaptively update its link and the route. Furthermore, the paper describes an energy-saving tree construction scheme for connecting sensors in the sensor network. The performance of the proposed method is verified using OPNET. The results in terms of response time and packet delivery ratio with respect to the number of sensor network coordinators show that the proposed connection method is superior to the conventional method.
