Heuristic mobile data gathering for wireless sensor networks via trajectory control by Jianxin Ma, Shuo Shi, Xuemai Gu, Fanggang Wang

“…This article focuses on the problem of scheduling the optimal paths of multiple mobile elements (e.g. robots, vehicles, etc.) to minimize the travel distance and balance the energy consumption and the data gathering latency in wireless sensor networks for smart cities. To partition the network for the multiple mobile elements and compute the trajectories of the multiple mobile elements, we utilize the sensor’s communication range and construct a multiple mobile elements scheduling problem. …”
