Mobile wireless sensor network

<p>A mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) can simply be defined as a <a href="/facts/Wireless_sensor_network/r5LIAVsU">wireless sensor network</a> (WSN) in which the <a href="/facts/Sensor_node/5rdgNrva">sensor nodes</a> are mobile. MWSNs are a smaller, emerging field of research in contrast to their well-established predecessor. MWSNs are much more versatile than static sensor networks as they can be deployed in any scenario and cope with rapid <a href="/facts/Topology/2EqW47cU">topology</a> changes. However, many of their applications are similar, such as environment monitoring or <a href="/facts/Surveillance/hJhvWdSJ">surveillance</a>. Commonly, the nodes consist of a <a href="/facts/Radio/XFr909M2">radio</a> <a href="/facts/Transceiver/S6HSzRPf">transceiver</a> and a <a href="/facts/Microcontroller/MKrnAhnm">microcontroller</a> powered by a <a href="/facts/Battery_(electricity)/bqEpm4ue">battery</a>, as well as some kind of <a href="/facts/Sensor/RN8SXbjs">sensor</a> for detecting <a href="/facts/Light/jeofpMn4">light</a>, <a href="/facts/Heat/FjDGssCs">heat</a>, <a href="/facts/Humidity/Nwb28VlT">humidity</a>, <a href="/facts/Temperature/QyGe4gmj">temperature</a>, etc.
