Abstract: How to design an efficient route for a mobile charger is an important issue in Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSNs). Mobile Chargers are costly and may consume a lot of time to reach and charge sensor nodes. Existing route planning algorithms either fail to minimise the number of mobile chargers or do not consider the actual traffic conditions. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid-Clustering-Minimum-Mobile-charger route planning algorithm (HCMM) for WRSNs. The charging route selected by the HCMM protocol prolongs the network lifetime by using a minimum number of mobile chargers. Simulation results verify that the charging efficiency achieved by HCMM is better than that of the m-MTS protocol which is currently the best charging route planning protocol for dispatching the least number of mobile chargers.
