Algorithm 1 Initial group number setting

1: AP sets its group number to 0

2: AP transmits the group number information to nodes that in the communication range among fixed nodes ‘F = {

F_{1}

F_{2}

, …,

F_{n}

}’

3: while(! (all sensor node of F has group number)){

4: for i = 1, 2, …, n{

5: if(

F_{i}

has not set a group number){

F_{i}

set its group number as 1

F_{i}

transmits the group number information to nodes that in the communication range among fixed nodes ‘F = {

F_{1}

F_{2}

, …,

F_{n}

}’

8: }

9: else{

10: if(group number information < group number of

F_{i}

){

11:

F_{i}

set its group number as (group number information + 1)

12: }

13: }

14: }

15: }

16: while(! (all mobile sensor nodes ‘M = {

M_{1}

M_{2}

, …,

M_{m}

}’ has group number)){

17: for i = 1, 2, …, m{

18: if(

M_{i}

has not set a group number){

19:

M_{i}

set its group number as 1

20:

M_{i}

transmits the group number information to nodes that in the communication range among mobile nodes ‘M = {

M_{1}

M_{2}

, …,

M_{m}

}’

21: }

22: else{

23: if(group number information < group number of

M_{i}

){

24:

M_{i}

set its group number as (group number information + 1)

25: }

n: the number of fixed sensor node
m: the number of mobile sensor node
