Abstract

In this paper, we focus on achieving better energy conservation for geographic routing algorithms in duty-cycled WSNs when there is a mobile sink. We simplify the problem as a topology coverage one, and propose a multi-metric geographic algorithm (MMGR) which uses multi-metric candidates (MMCs) for geographic routing. The analysis and extensive simulation results show that MMGR can achieve better energy conservations than McTPGF, while retaining good performance of end-to-end delay and hop counts.
