Tour Planning For Mobile Data-Gathering Mechanisms In Wireless Sensor Networks

D.Yasar Arfath, K.R.Kavitha

In this paper we investigate the tour planning for mobile data gathering in wireless sensor node by introducing mobility into the network. An M-collector starts the data-gathering tour periodically from the static data sink, polls each sensor and then directly collects data from the sensor in single-hop communications, and transports it into the static sink. Our mobile data-gathering scheme improves the scalability and solves intrinsic problems. By introducing the M-collector, data gathering becomes more flexible and adaptable to the unexpected changes of the network topology. M-collector will separate each zone that will reduce the network faults. In addition, data gathering by Mcollectors is perfectly suitable for applications, where sensors are only partially connected. proposed data-gathering scheme can greatly reduce the moving length compared with the covering line algorithm. In addition, it can prolong the network lifetime significantly compared with the scheme that has only a static data collector.
