Abstract
In this paper, we formulate an Energy Efficient (EE) deployment for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs) that consists of multiple clusters of sensor nodes, one mobile sink in each of them, and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for the whole MWSN. The UAV receives the collected sensed data from the mobile sinks wirelessly in order to deliver them to various IoT-based users’ devices. Experimental results show that the proposed model can achieve optimization in terms of energy consumption minimization and network lifetime enhancement.
