To the disadvantages, such as high energy consumption and the energy consumption imbalance, we proposed an energy-efficient routing protocol on mobile sink (MSEERP) in this paper. In the MSEERP, the network is divided into several square virtual grids based on GAF, each grid is called a cluster, and the cluster head election method of GAF is improved. In addition, the MSEERP introduces a mobile sink in the network, the sink radios in limited number of hops and uses control moving strategy, namely the sink does not collect the information until it moves to a cluster with highest residual energy. We applied NS2 to evaluate its performance and analyze the simulation results by the energy model. Simulation results show that the MSEERP balances the energy consumption of the network, saves nodes energy and extends the network lifetime.

Energy consumption phenomenon has always been noticed in sink-based wireless sensor networks. This paper explored an energy efficient routing protocol with a mobile sink based on the shortest path data transmission mode. According to the position of the sink node and the common nodes' ID in the network, we calculated the coordinate value of each node in the network. By comparing the coordinate values to choose the shortest path to forward the data. Simulation results show that this method can prolong the lifetime of the network and improve the energy utilization ratio of nodes.
