Dynamic Path Planning Design for Mobile Sink with Burst Traffic in a Region of WSN

الملخص EN

In mobile wireless sensor networks, priori-trail planning for the mobile sink is a commonly used solution to data collection from the whole network, for its low protocol overhead.

However, these trail-based approaches lack efficient load balance mechanism to handle burst WSN traffic, which needs to be sent to the base station correctly with low delay.

This paper proposed a dynamic path planning for mobile sink to balance load and avoid traffic bottleneck.

It contains grid partition of the network, priori-trail creation, burst-traffic awareness and estimation, resources collaborative strategy, and dynamic routing adjustment.

Experiments on NS-2 platform show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently balance the regular and burst data traffic with a low-delay and low loss rate performance of the network.
