An Efficient Data-Gathering Scheme for Heterogeneous Sensor Networks via Mobile Sinks

Typical Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) use static sinks to collect data from all sensor nodes via multihop forwarding. This results in the hot spot problem since the nodes close to the sink have a tendency to consume more energy in relaying data from other nodes. Many approaches using mobile sinks...
