Abstract

Data sinking in WSNs using mobile sinks is one of the popular and efficient methods in WSNs. However, the issues associated with zone partitioning and procedures to sink the data greatly affect the network throughput and energy efficiency. We propose an energy efficient Data Sinking based Angle Routing with Multiple Partition (DSARMP). In this paper, both zone partitioning and data sinking are effectively carried out using a unique procedure. The angle based zone partitioning considers the geographical information and sensor node distribution density that greatly helps to fix the location of each sensor node. Simulation results show that there is a remarkable improvement in energy efficiency and data sinking rate when compared to earlier state-of-the Art works.
