摘要：The key performance metrics in wireless sensor networks are both network lifetime and an average time required to report an event reliably. The optimal solution must be taken into account to meet these metrics. Considering energy-latency constraints in sensor networks, we have developed a cluster architecture using mobile agents to detect the yarn break in spinning machine in textile industry. We have used the latency improved MAC layer protocol to access the channel in the cluster and also used energy efficient cluster formation algorithm based on residual energy of the sensor node. This protocol can handle multiple event messages efficiently. And, we mainly focused on simulating the behavior of mobile agents for information retrieval from a wireless sensor network in a event driven and poll driven wireless sensor network model.
