a sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

Wireless sensor networks are the grouping of tiny sensor nodes, which collects the information by sensing activeness from the surroundings similar lands, forests, hills, sea. In wireless sensor networks, using mobile sinks mobility rather than static sink for data collection is the new trend in present years. Current researches are focusing on moving patterns of the mobile sink to achieve optim...

Current research proposes the Scheduling Based Energy Efficient Mobile Node Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. In this work, hybrid network consists of two types of nodes one is static nodes and other are moving nodes. We will consider these mobile nodes as mobile sink. Each static sensor has fixed or low energy. They have limited memory buffer. According the siz...

Use of mobile devices for data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has recently drawn much attention. Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be beneficial in energy conservation and lifetime prolongation. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop uneven hierarchical routing protocol (MUHRP) using a controlled mobile sink. We first analyze the performance of MUHRP with a fixed sink nod...

A Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (M-WSN) derives its name by considering either mobile sink or mobile sensor nodes within the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). As the sensor nodes are energy constrained, energy efficiency is the main aspect to be considered in any applications. By considering mobile sensor nodes in WSN, we can have better energy efficiency, improved coverage, and enhanced target t...

This paper exploits sink mobility to prolong the lifetime of sensor networks while maintaining the data transmission delay relatively low. A location predictive and time adaptive data gathering scheme is proposed. In this paper, we introduce a sink location prediction principle based on loose time synchronization and deduce the time-location formulas of the mobile sink. According to local clock...

Sink mobility creates new challenges for several sensor network applications. In mobile sink environments, each sink must propagate its current location continuously, through a sensor field, in order to keep all sensor nodes updated with the direction of data forwarding. This method consumes large amounts of energy. Although several protocols, such as DD, TTDD, and SEAD, have been proposed, in ...

Use of mobile devices for data collection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has recently drawn much attention. Controlled sink mobility has been shown to be beneficial in energy conservation and lifetime prolongation. In this paper, we aim at studying the multi-hop uneven hierarchical routing protocol (MUHRP) using different mobile sink strategies. We first analyze the performance of multi-hop...

With the advances of more and more mobile sink deployments (e.g., robots and unmanned aerial vehicles), mobile sinks have been demonstrated to play an important role in the prolongation of network lifetime. In this paper, we consider the network lifetime maximization problem for time-sensitive data gathering, which requires sensing data to be sent to the sink as soon as possible, subject to sev...

In many researches on load balancing in MultiSink WSNs, sensors usually choose the nearest sink as destination for sending data. If all sensors in this area all follow the nearest-sink strategy, sensors around nearest sink called hotspot will exhaust energy early and this sink is isolated from network. In this paper, we propose a load balancing scheme for multi-sink WSNs. A mobile anchor with d...
