Mobility in wireless sensor networks can negatively impact latency for data transfer. As mobile nodes move, established links can deteriorate and disconnect, requiring the mobile node to repeatedly form new links with surrounding relay nodes. This new link formation leads to extra latency as data communication is interrupted. The paper sets up a mathematical model and runs simulations to analyze how latency is affected by increasing network density and duty cycle as node mobility rises. Both the model and simulations show that latency goes up with greater mobility from more network nodes and higher radio duty cycles.

Some of these applications require the transfer of a large amount of data in a short period of time. This is challenging, since mobility can lead to a deterioration in the quality of an established link. Frequent link disconnection may in turn require a mobile node to repeatedly establish new links with the surrounding relay nodes to proceed with the data transfer. The new link establishment may cause extra data communication latency and make most of the applications delay sensitive. To evaluate the effect of mobility on latency, this paper first sets up a mathematical model based on a hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol in mobile scenarios. It then uses NS2 simulation to further analyze the latency associated with mobility. Both results show that the latency increases with an increment in the network density and the duty cycle.
