Aiming at the problem of energy hole caused by multi-hop data transmission, a data collection algorithm with mobile sink is proposed for network energy balance. The algorithm uses mixed integer programming to select a suitable set of data collection points and constructs a path to collect data. The purpose of the algorithm is to prolong the lifecycle of wireless sensor networks. This algorithm can be applied to fully connected network and splitted network. Simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm has a good performance in terms of network lifetime and energy consumption.
