This paper addresses the problem of data acquisition in ad hoc and sensor networks with mobile sinks and proposes a protocol based on swarm intelligence, SIMPLE, to route data in s...
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), data gathering using mobile sinks typically incurs constant propagation of sink location indication messages to guide the direction of data repor...

—Mobile sink has been adopted by many schemes for lifetime improvement in wireless sensor networks. It is necessary to propagate the topological or location changes caused by the...
Introducing mobile data sinks into wireless sensor networks (WSNs) improves the energy efficiency and the network lifetime, and is demanded for many application scenarios, such a...
Abstract. Sink mobility creates new challenges for several sensor network applications. In mobile sink environments, each sink must propagate its current location continuously, thr...
