无线传感器网络(WSNs)是20世纪90年代末提出的，由于其在军事、工业和民用领域(如环境和栖息地监测)的潜在应用，受到了前所未有的关注。虽然随着硬件和通信技术的发展，无线传感器网络在人类生活中变得越来越有前途，但由于无线传感器网络的静态网络风格，无线传感器网络存在一些自然的局限性(如网络连通性、网络寿命)。此外，越来越多的应用场景要求无线传感器网络中的传感器由静态变为移动，从而使无线传感器网络中的传统应用变得更加智能，并使一些新的应用成为可能。这些都催生了移动无线传感器网络，极大地促进了无线传感器网络的发展和应用。然而，据我们所知，目前还没有关于移动无线传感器网络中通信和数据管理问题的全面调查。本文围绕无线传感器网络中的通信问题和数据管理问题，讨论了无线传感器网络中通信和数据管理的不同研究方法，并提出了无线传感器网络中进一步开放的研究领域。版权所有©2011 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which is proposed in the late 1990s have received unprecedented attention, because of their exciting potential applications in military, industrial, and civilian areas (e.g., environmental and habitat monitoring). Although WSNs have become more and more prospective in human life with the development of hardware and communication technologies, there are some natural limitations of WSNs (e.g., network connectivity, network lifetime) due to the static network style in WSNs. Moreover, more and more application scenarios require the sensors in WSNs to be mobile rather than static so as to make traditional applications in WSNs become smarter and enable some new applications. All this induce the mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) which can greatly promote the development and application of WSNs. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is not a comprehensive survey about the communication and data management issues in MWSNs. In this paper,focusing on researching the communication issues and data management issues in MWSNs, we discuss different research methods regarding communication and data management in MWSNs and propose some further open research areas in MWSNs.Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
