Tradition wireless sensor networks (WSNs) transmit data by single or multiple hops.
However, some sensor nodes (SNs) close to a static base station forward data more …

This article focuses on the problem of scheduling the optimal paths of multiple mobile
elements (eg robots, vehicles, etc.) to minimize the travel distance and balance the energy …

Abstract In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the energy-hole problem is challenging
because it isolates the base station and disrupts the data accumulation process. A mobile …

A recent trend in wireless sensor network (WSN) research is the deployment of a mobile
element (ME) for transporting data from sensor nodes to the base station (BS). This helps to …

In this paper, we present a rendezvous-based data gathering protocol for wireless sensor
networks employing a mobile sink. For satisfying timely delivery of sensory data to the …

Exploiting mobile sink (MS) for data gathering in the wireless sensor networks has been
extensively studied in the recent researches to address energy‐hole issues, thereby …

Data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using mobile sink (MS) reduces the
uneven energy consumption of the sensors. However, the data gathering delay increases …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), finding the best transmission route from each node to
the mobile sink is not a simple task because of the dynamic characteristics of sink node and …
