Efficient Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks with Mobile Collectors Using Bounded Relay Hop Mobile Data Gathering

Wireless sensor networks are used for ambient data collection in diverse environments where Energy consumption becomes a primary concern. Wireless sensor network requires robust and energy efficient communication protocols to minimize the energy consumptio mobile gathering approach and formulate it into an optimization problem, named bounded relay hop mobile data gathering. The deployment of relay nodes in sensor networks has been proposed for maximizing the lifetime, energy-efficient data gathering, load Algorithms for selecting polling points that buffer locally aggregated data and upload the data to the mobile collector when it arrives. The proposed approach shortens the data gathering latency compared with the other schemes.
