基于移动代理的分布式无线传感器网络管理

无线传感器网络正日益成为一种用于各类应用中的重要技术。无线传感器网络由成百上千个传感器结点构成,这些传感器结点具有传感、处理及无线通信的能力。但迄今为止,无线传感器网络及其应用在发展的同时,并未考虑对无线传感器网络管理的解决方案。作为一种动态拓扑的无线移动网络,相对于常规网络的管理而言,无线传感器网络的管理有它自身的特点和要求。本文首先分别介绍了无线传感器网络以及移动代理的基本概念和特点,分析研究了无线传感器网络管理的自身特点和需求。然后在此基础上,提出了一种基于移动代理的分布式无线传感器网络管理的体系结构,其中包括网络管理体系结构的工作原理,以及被管理的传感器结点的结构模型。最后讨论研究了在此网络管理体系结构中的传感器结点的分簇要求及特点。

Mobile Agent Based Distributed Wireless Sensor Network Management

This paper firstly introduces the concept of wireless sensor network and mobile agent.Wireless sensor networks are becoming an increasingly important technology that will be used in a variety of applications.A Wireless sensor network is composed of hundreds to thousands of sensor nodes that have the capability of sensing,processing and wireless communicating. So a wireless sensor network management has its own characteristics and requirements compared to that of traditional network because the network is wireless,dynamic in topology.Until now,wireless sensor networks and their applications have been developed with little consideration for a management solution.Then we present in this paper a mobile agent based distributed architecture for wireless sensor network management according to its characteristics and requirements,and then proposes the clustering requirements and characteristics in this management architecture.
