Tradition wireless sensor networks (WSNs) transmit data by single or multiple hops.However, some sensor nodes (SNs) close to a static base station forward data more frequently than others, which results in the problem of energy holes and makes networks fragile.One promising solution is to use a mobile node as a mobile sink (MS), which is especially useful in energy-constrained networks.In these applications, the tour planning of MS is a key to guarantee the network performance.

In this paper, a novel strategy is proposed to reduce the latency of mobile data ONE COCONUT ALMOND gathering in a WSN while the routing strategies and tour planning of MS are jointly optimized.First, the issue of network coverage is discussed before the appropriate number of clusters being calculated.A dynamic clustering Stuffed Animals scheme is then developed where a virtual cluster center is defined as the MS sojourn for data collection.Afterwards, a tour planning of MS based on prediction is proposed subject to minimizing the traveling distance to collect data.

The proposed method is simulated in a MATLAB platform to show the overall performance of the developed system.Furthermore, the physical tests on a test rig are also carried out where a small WSN based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is developed in our laboratory.The test results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method proposed.
