Abstract

Hopping sensors play a crucial role in the data collection process, especially in rugged terrains, as they possess the ability to jump for movement. However, hopping sensors face challenges in data collection due to energy constraints, which can lead to serious issues such as sensing holes, resulting in interruptions in data collection. Therefore, efficient methods for the relocation of hopping sensors are essential for recovering from sensing holes. Various studies are focusing on the recovery of sensing holes through the relocation of hopping sensors, proposing diverse methods to enhance the reliability of data collection. This paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of previous research through comparative analysis and provides directions for future research. The relocation of hopping sensors is a critical factor in sensing hole recovery, and the development of better methods is expected to enhance the reliability of data collection. Such research contributes to overcoming various challenges in the data collection process and increasing the efficiency of data collection and analysis in the IoT environment.
