Abstract

In wireless sensor networks, a sensor node communicates with a small set of neighbour sensor nodes and with the base station through a group leader or a cluster head. However, in some occasions, a sensor node required to move in the sensor networks. The node has to change its own position with the requirement of applications. Considering this phenomena, in this paper, we propose to design an angular function and private key management system authenticated by group leader for the transmission of a node. In the proposed scheme, the group is divided into sectors. The motion of the node is related with the angles to the group leader, which is the basis of our proposal. The nodes movement and activity should be tracked. The proposed scheme attains high connectivity and security with the help of the directional transreceiver. The lifetime of a node is increased, and it enables a node to move through the network and to transmit data to its neighbors.
