Mobility has been incorporated into wireless sensor networks in recent years in order to improve energy efficiency and network coverage. In particular, at the cost of increased message delivery delay, the energy conservation can be achieved by limiting the hop count between the communicating sensor-sink pair. In this paper we allow multihop routing between one sensor and mobile sinks, and consider the delay*energy metric, which is a compound metric to evaluate the performance of diverse data collection schemes. Through extensive simulation experiments of AODV performance over IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with clustered wireless sensor network setting, we investigate the fundamental problems of AODV without information of 802.15.4 MAC, and analyze the influence of incorporating multiple sinks.
