The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

People-centric urban sensing (2006, methodology): “A similar conclusion based on analysis for a random initial deployment strategy and a random mobility model is found in [25] However, what we do not characterize here is the delay cost.”
Drone networks: Communications, coordination, and sensing (2018, unknown): “Mobile sensor networks have been under investigation and it has been shown that mobility, while complicating the design of higher layer algorithms, also can improve the network, for instance, in terms of capacity, coverage, etc. [31],[32].”
A Survey on Localization for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (2009, background): “In fact, it has been shown [17], [18] that the integration of mobile entities into WSNs improves coverage, and hence, utility of the sensor network deployment.”
Mobeyes: smart mobs for urban monitoring with a vehicular sensor network (2006, background): “Moreover, a mobile sensor node improves sensing coverage [17].”
