Mobility Accelerates Consensus Building in Sensor Networks

摘要

The primary goal of this letter is to study the impact of mobility in wireless sensor networks modeled as a leader-follower structure. Although it is intuitively known that mobility enhances the convergence rate of consensus-building in a sensor network, analytical reasoning for this intuition is not available in the literature. For filling the gap, this letter provides concrete proofs to demonstrate the benefits of introducing mobility in a sensor network with two leaders in terms of improved convergence rate in consensus building.
