Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of data gathering in ad-hoc sensor networks using a mobile entity called mule. The mule traverses the children of failed sensors, to prevent loss of data. Our objective is to define the optimal communication tree and the mule's placement such that the mule's overall traveling distance is minimized. We explore this problem in several network topologies including: unit disc graph on a line (UDL), general unit disc graph (UDG), and a complete graph with failing probabilities on the nodes (CGFP). We provide an optimal solution for the UDL problem and two approximation algorithms for the UDG problem. For the CGFP problem we outline the two possible structures of an optimal solution and provide near optimal approximation algorithms.
