A Social-based Strategy for Memory Management in Sensor Networks

Abstract

The technological structure of today’s societies enables people to easily exchange and share their information. This structure contains many sophisticated technologies such as mobile wireless devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets). These devices are mainly used for connecting people with each other. As these devices grow in usability, many issues have become apparent such as memory management, security, and power consumption. In this paper, we propose a novel social-based strategy for memory management in mobile sensor networks. This strategy is inspired from two concepts, namely, social capital in sociology and preferential return mechanism in human mobility. The findings show that the proposed strategy is quite effective in keeping up-to-date information in each sensor/device about the sensor connections. We believe that this is the first work that investigates the issue of memory management in this type of networks using concepts form social networks and human mobility.
