Abstract	Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are emerging as an effective solution for a wide range of real-life applications. In scenarios where a fine-grain sensing is not required, sensor nodes can be sparsely deployed in strategic locations and special Mobile Elements (MEs) can be used for data collection. Since communication between a sensor node and a ME can occur only when they are in the transmission range of each other, one of the main challenges in the design of a WSN with MEs is the energy-efficient and timely discovery of MEs. In this paper, we consider a hierarchical ME discovery protocol, namely Dual beacon Discovery (2BD) protocol, based on two different beacon messages emitted by the ME (i.e., Long-Range Beacons and Short-Range Beacons). We develop a detailed analytical model of 2BD assuming a sparse network scenario, and derive the optimal parameter values that minimize the energy consumption at sensor nodes, while guaranteeing the minimum throughput required by the application. Finally, we compare the energy efficiency and performance of 2BD with those of a traditional discovery protocol based on a single beacon. Our results show that 2BD can provide significant energy savings, especially when the discovery phase is relatively long.
