Abstract
Mobile sinks have been widely used for data gathering in mobile-enabled wireless sensor networks (mWSNs). However, the frequent network topology dynamics caused by sink mobility in mWSNs may cause excessive protocol overhead for route discovery and maintenance and therefore routing performance degradation. In this paper, we design a new distributed routing protocol for achieving high routing performance in such networks. The designed routing protocol works in a reactive way for route learning/updating and it combines trail based forwarding and data-driven route learning/updating for improved performance as sink(s) move in the network. We present detailed design description of the new protocol. Simulation results show that our protocol can achieve high packet delivery ratio performance with low protocol overhead.
