Self-organizing
sensor networks may be built from sensor nodes that may spontaneously create
impromptu network, assemble the network themselves, dynamically adapt to
device failure and degradation, manage movement of sensor nodes, and react
to changes in task and network requirements. Reconfigurable smart
sensor nodes enable sensor devices to be self-aware, self-reconfigurable
and autonomous. The main benefits of these features are:
-
Support tactical and surveillance
applications using reconfiguurable sensor network nodes that are capable
of forming impromptu network, being
deployed incrementally, and assembling themselves
without central administration
-
Provide capabilities for sensor networks
to adapt dynamically to device failure and degradation and changes in task
and network requirements
-
Integrate various application-specific
network and system services provided by mixed types of sensor nodes and
embedded defense applications
