A Mobile Object Based Energy Efficient Protocol for Master Node Based Wireless Sensor Networks

We are in the era of Information technology, where voluminous information flows in the network. This information has many data sources. These data sources are resource constrained devices. In this context, mobile object plays a crucial role for data collection in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Therefore, the key challenge is to collect the sensor data from the sensors' field in an energy efficient manner. This paper proposes an algorithmic technique to control the direction of data transmission that initiates from sensor node. Thus it eliminates the need for sophisticated antenna required for setting the direction of the data transmission. The key idea of the proposed method is to control flooding. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism enhances the network lifetime.
