Abstract

Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN) has
numerous applications in diverse fields like wildlife monitoring,
pollutant level monitoring, health care monitoring etc. In
MWSN, sensor nodes move freely in the network through
wireless links without any infrastructure. Sensor nodes move in
the network according to some mobility model. In this paper,
performance of various mobility models on Multiple Mobile Sink
(MMS) routing is analyzed. Three different patterns are
considered for movement of sink node i.e. Random Waypoint
Mobility Model, Circular Pathway Mobility Model and Air
Mobility Model. Results show that Air mobility model is more
efficient than circular and random waypoint mobility models.
