Abstract :
Miniaturization of electronics and mechanical elements has resulted in an explosion of small, computationally powerful sensor devices. These devices mounted on multiple mobile platforms - provide information gathering methods in a wide range of environments. Current sensor networks that produce large amounts of information lack an efficient method for returning data to the user. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate through simulation a cooperative communications and processing system
