An emergent solution to overcome the limitations of traditional multi-hop routing in wireless
sensor networks (WSNs) is to use mobile collectors (MCs) for data gathering, thereby …

In wireless sensor networks, a Mobile Collector (MC) is used to gather data by periodically
traversing the network to avoid hotspot or energy-hole issues. Although the MC's data …

Data collection is an important task in many mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN)
applications. The energy of sensor nodes around the sink depletes rapidly due to …

Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Collectors (MCs) enable increased flexibility and
convenience in data gathering for numerous large-scale applications. However, introducing …

Abstract While several Mobile Sink (MS)-based data gathering methods have been
proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks, most of them are less adaptive to changes in …

In this paper, we propose a new data-gathering mechanism for large-scale wireless sensor
networks by introducing mobility into the network. A mobile data collector, for convenience …

Abstract A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of sensor nodes, which are typically
small low-power devices that occasionally have movement capabilities. These nodes …

The newly introduced sweep coverage scheme uses mobile sensors to implement network
coverage in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and has attracted much attention from …

Several data collection algorithms, which are based on the combination of using mobile
sinks and multiple-hop forwarding, have been proposed to prolong the network lifetime of …

Individual sensors in wireless mobile sensor networks (MSNs) can move in search of
coverage region for the sensing accuracy and for reaching the most efficient topology …
