A data gathering algorithm based on swarm intelligence and load balancing strategy for mobile sink

In this paper, we introduce a data gathering algorithm for mobile sink in WSN system, which is based on the swarm intelligence and load balancing strategy, called SIDG-MS algorithm. The preying behaviour from swarm intelligence shows that individual could find food in swarm territorial. Each node in WSN system has limited calculation ability, memory space, energy and wireless transmission range. This action is similar with the individual of swarm intelligence. This paper focuses on the concept and elaboration of the SIDG-MS and the load balancing strategy. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of this approach. We analysis and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods over other existed methods, and defined some future work.
