Abstract

Mobility is one of the most important issues in next generation networks. As wireless sensor networks are becoming the next elements of the future Internet, it is crucial to study new models that also support mobility of these nodes. This paper presents and studies three paradigms to support mobility in sensor nodes. This study is supported by prototyping. As a result a set of proposals are proposed and discussed. The work presented in this paper proposes the use of IP in wireless sensor networks as a unifying protocol and it is in compliance with the IETF 6LowPAN group.
