Mobile sinks can be used to balance energy consumption for sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Mobile sinks are required to inform sensor nodes about their new location information whenever necessary. However, frequent location updates from mobile sinks can lead to both rapid energy consumption of sensor nodes and increased collisions in wireless transmissions. We propose a new solution with adaptive location updates for mobile sinks to resolve this problem. When a sink moves, it only needs to broadcast its location information within a local area other than among the entire network. Both theoretical analysis and simulation studies show that this solution consumes less energy in each sensor node and also decreases collisions in wireless transmissions, which can be used in large-scale WSNs.
