Abstract : Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most important technologies today due to their numerous applications in the fields of environment monitoring, defense and agriculture, to name a few. The paper proposes some architectural alternatives to the traditional WSNs with static sinks by including mobile sinks mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The main performance measures of interest, energy consumption per node, throughput evolution over time, and delay per packet are studied and compared for the different architectures. The simulation results exhibit how better performance is achieved by using a mobile sink than with a static sink and how clustered topologies perform better than flat topologies.
