TL;DR: This work proposes four characteristic mobility patterns for the sink along with different data collection strategies and demonstrates that by taking advantage of the sink's mobility, it can significantly reduce the energy spent in relaying traffic and thus greatly extend the lifetime of the network.

TL;DR: This work proposes four characteristic mobility patterns for the sink that it combines with different data collection strategies and demonstrates that by taking advantage of the sinks mobility and shifting work from sensors to the powerful sink, it can significantly reduce the energy spent in relaying traffic and thus greatly extend the lifetime of the network.

TL;DR: This work proposes a biased, adaptive sink mobility scheme, that adjusts to local network conditions, such as the surrounding density, remaining energy and the number of past visits in each network region, that achieves significantly reduced latency, especially in networks with non-uniform sensor distribution.

TL;DR: This work presents a communication protocol that enables scalable, energy efficient and fault tolerant coordination while allowing to prioritize sensing tasks in situated wireless sensor and actor networks, and implements and evaluates the protocol using large scale simulation, showing its suitability in networks where sensor to actor and actor to actor coordination are important.
