ABSTRACT
Wireless Sensor Networks have been deployed for environmental monitoring, home automation, and advanced metering application fields among others. Only few examples of monitoring cargo transports by Wireless Sensor Networks have been reported on. The authors have deployed mobile Wireless Sensor Networks in a cargo container on a trans-atlantic cargo vessel as well as on a lorry to monitor the transport conditions inside the container. This submission reports on the experiences gained from those particular deployments and the open research issues for mobile Wireless Sensor Networks for logistics.

Relay Node Placement in Wireless Sensor Networks
A wireless sensor network consists of many low-cost, low-power sensor nodes, which can perform sensing, simple computation, and transmission of sensed information. Long distance transmission by sensor nodes is not energy efficient since energy ...
Sensor scheduling for p-percent coverage in wireless sensor networks
We study sensor scheduling problems of p-percent coverage in this paper and propose two scheduling algorithms to prolong network lifetime due to the fact that for some applications full coverage is not necessary and different subareas of the monitored ...
The optimization of sensor relocation in wireless mobile sensor networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been an active research area these years due to their broad range of potential applications. Several research issues, which include energy-aware routing, sensor deployment problems, data aggregation, etc., have been ...
