Abstract

Sink mobility is an effective solution in the literature for wireless sensor network lifetime improvement. In this paper, we propose a set of algorithms for sink site determination (SSD) and movement strategy problems of sink mobility. We also present experiment results that compare the performance of our algorithms with other approaches in the literature.
