Enhancing WSN Mobility for e-Health Monitoring in Industrial Environments

—A number of sensor network applications are envisioned to be applied to industry settings where the existence of mobile nodes (MN) is required. In critical applications, the realtime monitoring of a MN must always be available, something that requires the existence of a suitable mobility protocol to control the handoff procedure. In this paper, we use data from an industrial testbed to perform a comprehensive performance evaluation of different mobility solutions based on single- and multiple- metric options. The results show that a fuzzy logic based approach performs better compared to any single metricbased approach
