Mobile sink based routing strategies for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have drawn a lot of research attention in recent years. If sink mobility pattern is well designed, better WSNs performance can be achieved. In this paper, we provide a survey of state-of-the-art mobile sink based location-based routing strategies for WSNs routing strategies. Location-based routing strategies can be further classified into backbone-based and rendezvous-based routing protocols. We first describe the main principles of the two location-based routing protocols with sink mobility support respectively. Then we analyze their advantages and disadvantages.
