Description
Summary:Mobile Data Collector device (MDC) is adopted to reduce the energy consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks. This device travels the network in order to gather the collected data from sensor nodes. This paper presents a new Tree Clustering algorithm with Mobile Data Collector in Wireless Sensor Networks, which establishes the shortest travelling path passing throw a subset of Cluster Heads (CH). To select CHs, we adopt a competitive scheme, and the best sensor nodes are elected according to the number of packets forwarded between sensor nodes, the number of hops to the tree’s root, the residual energy, and the distance between the node and the closest CH. In simulation results, we adopt the balanced and unbalanced topologies and prove the efficiently of our proposed algorithm considering the network lifetime, the fairness index and the energy consumption in comparison with the existing mobile data collection algorithms.
