    Abstract:

    Aiming at the hot issue about the sink node in most traditional data collection protocols in wireless sensor networks, the study presented a data collection method using mobile sink. Data collection problem was decoupled to a dominating set construction and travelling salesman problem. A distributed algorithm was presented for constructing dominating set. According to the result set, approximate algorithm was used to generate a path for sink. Simulation results show that the approach proposed can reduce communication overhead and balance the load.
