Abstract:
 Extensive research is being done on Wireless sensor Networks (WSNs) in present decade. WSNs consist of large number of sensor nodes which perform sensing of certain phenomena and send the sensed data to the sinks. This operation consumes energy of sensor nodes which effects the lifetime of a network. To prolong the lifetime of WSNs various strategies and routing algorithms have been proposed. Use of mobile sinks has proved effective in this respect. In this paper we are analyzing the impact of multiple mobile sinks with proactive hierarchical clustering protocols LEACH and network reactive hierarchical protocol TEEN. This paper will give simulation based analysis of using multiple mobile sinks in network and their effect on lifetime of a network. Performance analysis will be done on basis of dead nodes, alive nodes, throughput and residual energy.
