Abstract
A Cellular Automata Model for Object Monitoring in Mobile Wireless
Sensor Network in Hexagonal Grid By Shahidullah Kaiser (134420), Md. Rahat
Hussein Khan (134426)
Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN) is an ad-hoc network that comprises of a
large number of sensors. The sensors usually have limited sensing and communication
capabilities. We present a CA model that efficiently monitor a moving object in
distributed mobile wireless sensor network. CA is a biologically inspired discrete
model. Although there are works that have used CA for developing Object Monitoring
in Distributed Mobile Wireless Sensor Network, they mostly used square grids which
is not a good representation of the actual MWSN model. We focus on simulating the
mobile wireless sensor networks for monitoring a moving object considering energyefficiency.
In a general case, a number of objects need to be monitored by the sensors
and the objects can be static or mobile. Monitoring mobile objects is considerably
harder than monitoring static objects. Mobile sensor networks can be useful in
monitoring animal behavior. In this case, animals can move randomly within a network
and the mobile sensors can also move to monitor their behavior and other aspects.
