Abstract

Solutions for energy hole problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been excessively explored using mobile sink (MS). Although, MS provides a considerable amount of energy saving and extends network lifetime. However, MS introduces varying degree of data acquisition latency depending on the trajectory followed. Therefore, rendezvous based data acquisition methods are proposed to mitigate this issue which are aimed to provide a trade-off between energy consumption and data acquisition latency. There exists a list of surveys that focus on issues related to sink mobility such as mobility aware energy efficient data acquisition schemes, mobility aware data acquisition and routing, etc. However, none of these surveys concern about the issue of providing a trade-off between energy consumption and data acquisition latency. Therefore, this review addresses the same issue and presents a taxonomy of rendezvous based data acquisition methods along with the design goals and associated designing requirements. The methods are grouped into two categories: rendezvous point (RP) based and rendezvous area (RA) based. Furthermore, a phase-wise comprehensive overview of these methods is provided which clearly unfold the way of resolving the targeted issue. Finally, the research issues and challenges are discussed in pursuit of data acquisition by MS.
