those research efforts that embrace together both RFID and SN technologies just reflect static SN

such as those inside buildings or “smart homes” [21].

Other parts of our research are also related to existing works in the area. In Section 8.3.1, the

part of the representative election process where nodes are chosen according to their remaining

energy is based on [22], although we adapt the algorithms for mobile WSN. The addressing scheme

exposed in Section 8.3.2 resembles the one used by the Zigbee Networking [23], although our work

minimizes the overhead and provides dynamic address spaces, support from merging networks,

and a truly decentralized strategy.

We believe that our work and other related ...
