Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are constrained with limited battery lifetime. Cluster head near the base station act as relays to the cluster heads far from the base station resulting in fast depletion of the cluster head close to the base station. To overcome this problem mobile sink have been used in the past. The proposed algorithm finds the optimum path and sojourn location of the mobile sink using biogeography based optimization (BBO). BBO not only converge faster as compared to GA but it also gives more optimized results. The proposed algorithm is compared with previous protocols such as LEACH, GA based clustering, PSO based clustering. The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB simulation tool. The proposed algorithm performs better both in terms of lifetime of the cluster heads as well as lifetime of the entire network
