In mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN), the lifetime of the network largely depends on energy efficient routing protocol. In the literature, cluster leader (CL) is selected based on remaining energy of mobile sensor nodes to enhance sensor network lifetime. In this study, a novel connectivity-based Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy-Mobile Energy Efficient and Connected (LEACH-MEEC) routing protocol was proposed, where CL is selected based on connectivity among neighboring nodes and the remaining energy of mobile sensor nodes. Consequently, it improves data delivery, network lifetime and balances the energy consumption. We studied various performance metrics including the number of alive nodes (NAN), remaining energy (RE) and packet delivery ratio (PDR). Our proposed LEACH-MEEC outperforms all other algorithms due to the connectivity metric. Moreover, the performance of mobility models was investigated through graphical and statistically tabulated results. The results show that Reference Point Group Mobility model (RPGM) is better than other mobility models.

In wireless sensor network, the sensor nodes find the route towards the sink to transmit the sensory information such as temperature, pressure etc of a particular area. The sensor nodes transmit the data directly to sink or it relays the data through neighbor nodes using single or multi-hop links. Each time when nodes send their data to static sink, the data is passed through the nearer nodes of sink to it. As soon as the nodes near to the sink become dead, the entire network will be useless as there will be no communication to the sink node. So, to conserve the energy we use mobile sink approach. Thus with the inclusion of mobile sink in WSN, new paradigm called mobile wireless sensor network came into existence. In this paper, to conserve energy and to perform energy efficient routing, we have proposed chain-based energy efficient routing scheme for mobile wireless sensor network (CB-EERM)which is using mobile sink and media access approach where sink moves from one position to another position in sensor field and sojourn at a particular location to collect the whole aggregated data from the various  leader(aggregator)nodes in chain using media access approach. The proposed mobile scheme CB-EERM is validated through simulation and compared with traditional static approach using metrics such as energy consumption, throughput, delay and packet delivery ratio where proposed approach outperforms the existing scheme.

In the recent years, an efficient design of a Wireless Sensor Network has become important in the area of research. The major challenges in the design of Wireless Sensor Network is to improve the network lifetime. The main difficulty for sensor node is to survive in that monitoring area for the longer time that means there is a need to increase the lifetime of the sensor nodes by optimizing the energy and distance. There are various existing routing protocols in which optimal routing can be achieved like Data-Centric, Hierarchical and Location-based routing protocols. In this paper, new power efficient routing protocol is being proposed that not only select the shortest path between the source node and sink node for data transmission but also maximizes the lifetime of the participating nodes by selecting the best path for sending the data packet across the network. The main objective of this research is to develop a faster algorithm to find the energy efficient route for Wireless Sensor Network. Simulation results shows that this strategy achieves long network lifetime when compared to the other standard protocols.
