Summary:Mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN) are composed of a large number of mobile sensor nodes, which are used to collect data. MWSN have been widely applied in a variety of harsh environments, so mobile sensor nodes are often at risk of damage. How to manage mobile sensor nodes is an important issue. In this paper, we analyse different mobility management schemes proposed in some typical research literature and classify these schemes by using three features: the collaboration between mobile sensor nodes, routing and deployment in MWSN. We specify advantages and disadvantages of the proposed schemes, compare different key parameters of MSWN respectively, including energy efficiency, data delay, cost and lifetime, etc. Finally, we discuss existing problems of MWSN management and give some helpful suggestions in this area.
