Abstract: The wireless sensor is the decentralized and self configuring type of network in which no central
controller is present. The sizes of the sensor nodes are very small and it is generally deployed on the far places
due to which energy consumption is the major issue of wireless sensor networks. To reduce energy
consumption of the wireless sensor network, whole network is divided into fixed size clusters and in each
cluster, cluster heads are selected on the basis of energy and distance. The optimization algorithms are applied
within these networks in order to help in controlling the energy consumption. For sparing the energy of sensor
nodes one of the clustering methodology is utilized. In every cluster has a cluster head and rest nodes are
individual from that cluster. In this work, the multiple mobile sinks are deployed which aggregate data from
the cluster heads and movement of the base station decided using bee colony algorithm. The simulation of
proposed technique is performed in NS2 and results are analyzed in terms various parameters.
KEYWORDS: Mobile Sink, PSO, Energy Efficient.
Introduction
The recent enhancements made in the technology involving wireless sensor networks has provided great innovations within
the applications that involve it such as the mechanical monitoring, traffic monitoring, cropping, etc. advance creative and
productive thoughts are to be generated within this area such that their usage can be more helpful. In the information routing,
compression as well as network aggregation, various analyzed methods have been introduced in the recent years [1]. Within a
wireless sensor network, there are numerous nodes spread across an area for monitoring the surroundings present. There is a
sensor hub present within the network that comprises of sensors, actuators, memory, and a processor and facilitates
