English Abstract
The longevity of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a major issue that impacts the application of such networks.
While communication protocols are striving to save energy by acting on sensor nodes, recent results show that network lifetime can be extended by further involving sink mobility.
As most proposals give their evidence of lifetime improvement through numerical simulations or field tests, a study which combine the sink mobility with the different existing routing protocols is still missing.
In this work, I investigate how the sensor network performs in the case when the sink node moves.
I compare the simulation results for two cases: when the sink node is stationary and mobile, considering lattice and random topologies and using three routing protocols: AODV, DSDV, and DSR.
The other simulation parameters were set according to [19].
The simulation results have shown that for the case of mobile sink, the depleted energy is 50% less than what was consumed in the case of motionless sink.
As well, the consumed energy of lattice topology is 4% to 9% low if compared to that of random topology with 65 and 100 nodes, respectively.
Finally, DSDV seems to have the best performance in terms of depleted energy (between 16% and 6% of the total energy, for stationary and mobile sink, respectively), yet it has the poorest packet delivery ratio (between 100% to 76,23%, for motionless and itinerant sink, respectively).
