Abstract:

A type of data gathering method based on one mobile sink for balanced energy consumption in sensor networks (DGBEC) was proposed. Coordinates of each traverse point was calculated by sensing coverage model, and the path with fixed length for mobile sink was also built. Simulations show that DGBEC performs very well in energy consumption balance than virtual nodes priority (VNP) and rendezvous points finding with a utility-based greedy heuristic (RP-UG) methods.

Key words: wireless sensor networks, mobile sink, data gathering, energy consumption balance
