Abstract

Mobile sink Wireless Sensor Network (MSWSN) has recently received a lot of attention from the research community. Its appealing characteristics of providing longer network lifetimes, delay optimizations and the flexibility to adapt dissemination strategies according to applications' requirements have proved to be more efficient. Numerous mobile sink based data dissemination strategies have been proposed. This work presents state of the art literature review on MSWSN data dissemination strategies. Issues and flexibilities that did not exist with static sink WSN have been discussed. A classification of available data dissemination strategies and their pros and cons has been discussed.
