Recently, wireless sensor networks have employed the concept of mobile agent to reduce energy consumption and obtain effective data gathering. Typically, in data gathering based on mobile agent, it is an important and essential step to find out the optimal itinerary planning for the mobile agent. However, single-agent itinerary planning suffers from two primary disadvantages: task delay and large size of mobile agent as the scale of the network is expanded. Thus, using multi-agent itinerary planning overcomes the drawbacks of single-agent itinerary planning. Despite the advantages of multi-agent itinerary planning, finding the optimal number of distributed mobile agents, source nodes grouping, and optimal itinerary of each mobile agent for simultaneous data gathering are still regarded as critical issues in wireless sensor network. Therefore, in this article, the existing algorithms that have been identified in the literature to address the above issues are reviewed. The review shows that most of the algorithms used one parameter to find the optimal number of mobile agents in multi-agent itinerary planning without utilizing other parameters. More importantly, the review showed that theses algorithms did not take into account the security of the data gathered by the mobile agent. Accordingly, we indicated the limitations of each proposed algorithm and new directions are provided for future research.

Congestion Control Mechanism

An improved congestion control mechanism based on mobile agent for wireless sensor networks is proposed, which includes node-level congestion and link-level congestion control. The formers congestion information is collected and distributed by mobile agents (MA). When mobile agent travels through the networks, it can select a less-loaded neighbor node as its next hop and update the routing table according to the nodes congestion status. Minimum package of node outgoing traffic was preferentially transmitted in the link-level congestion. Simulation result shows that proposed mechanism attains high delivery ratio and throughput with reduced delay when compared with the existing technique.

Problematic Issue

Currently, the majority of research in the area of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is directed towards optimizing energy use during itinerary planning by mobile agents (MAs). The route taken by the MA when migrating can get a significant effect on energy consumption and the lifespan of the network. Conversely, finding an ideal arrangement of Source Nodes (SNs) for mobile agents to visit could be a problematic issue. It is within this framework that this work focused on solving certain problems related to itinerary planning based on a multimobile agent (MMA) strategy in networks. The objective of our research was to increase the lifespan of sensor networks and to diminish the length of the data collection task. In order to achieve our objective, we proposed a new approach in WSNs, which took into consideration the criterion of an appropriate number of MAs, the criterion of the appropriate grouping of SNs, and finally the criterion of the optimal itinerary followed by each MA to visit all its SNs. Thus, we suggested an approach that may be classified as a centralized planning model where the itinerary schedule is entirely shaped by the base station (sink) which, unlike other approaches, is no longer constrained by energy consumption. A series of simulations to measure the performance of the new planning process was also carried out.
