ABSTRACT:
Recently, sink mobility has become an important research topic in conventional sensor networks. Compared with fixed sink, the advantage of this approach is that it can reduce energy consumption, balance the work load of the sensor nodes closer to the sink, increase network lifetime and collect data in both connected networks and disconnected networks. However, the proposed approaches for conventional sensor networks cannot be easily adopted to the energy harvesting sensor networks due to the dynamic characteristic of energy harvested. In this talk, I will outline my current work on data collection in energy harvesting sensor networks with a mobile sink.
