In wireless sensor networks (WSN) prolonging the network lifetime is one of the most challenging issues. The nodes in WSN are limited in terms of energy, processing power and storage. The energy is the most important factor since the network lifetime is limited by the energy of the nodes. In this article, a mobile base station (BS) approach is considered to utilize the energy consumption of sensor nodes (SNs) and the movement of the BS is governed by fuzzy logic inference mechanism. In a cluster based architecture a priority is given to each cluster head (CH) based on three fuzzy input parameters. These parameters are initial energy, distance to the BS and data transmission rate. The BS decides to move towards a CH with the highest priority in order to save more energy. We will then compare the performance of our proposed model with LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Hierarchy) protocol. We will also show that our proposed model, the CH energy is consumed in a more uniform fashion.
