Abstract: | In the application of periodic data-gathering in sensor networks, sensor nodes located near the sink have to forward the data
received from all other nodes to the sink, which depletes their energy very quickly. A moving scheme for the sink based on
local residual energy was proposed. In the scheme, the sink periodically moves to a new location with the highest stay-value
defined by the average residual energy and the number of neighbors. The scheme can balance energy consumption and prevent
nodes around sink from draining their energy very quickly in the networks. The simulation results show that the scheme can
prolong the network lifetime by 26%–65% compared with the earlier schemes where the sink is static or moves randomly.
