Abstract

Modern boom and understanding of our growing needs, applications based on the Mobile Internet of Things (MIoT) are becoming important for future internet technologies. MIoT will force to connect billions of intelligent devices such as sensors connected with the internet. This increase in a mobile application for long-lasting high throughput network sensor coordination plays a crucial role in the design of energy-efficient protocols, specifically in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. In this survey, we first propose a taxonomy for classifying mobility-aware MAC protocols in MWSNs. Then we classify the Mobility MAC protocols into the synchronous and asynchronous-based mechanism. For each category, relevant protocols are thoroughly reviewed with the design, and the selected mobility MAC is evaluated under different mobility models. Finally, we discuss open issues associated with the design of mobility MAC protocols gives a start-up for the design of mobile MAC solutions for future large-scale Mobile IoT applications.
