With recent advances in deployment of sensor nodes mounted on mobile platforms, node mobility is becoming an attractive alternative to improve network coverage dynamically in sensor networks. Mobile sensor networks deployed for surveillance applications, it is important to use an efficient energy management scheme that can empower nodes to make better decisions regarding their positions such that strategic tasks like target tracking can be benefited from node movement. However, due to energy constrain nodes; it may not be cost effective to deploy a large number of mobile nodes for continuous movements. Due to their effectiveness for enhancing energy and bandwidth efficiency, MIMO schemes have been studied intensively in recent years and used for energy conservation.
