Abstract: The mobility of mobile sensors in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is important and widely discussed issue with variety of researches. In many studies, using mobile sensors to help data transmission has been proven to prolong the life cycle of the entire network. But most of the current researches assume the energy of the sensors is unlimited. However, the energy are limited in the real environment, we need to consider the energy limit. So based on the energy consumption, we proposed an EBDTM to give thought to the problem in this paper. After the use of mathematical formulas to set out our issue, constructing a generation path which can as much as possible to satisfy with our energy setting,experimental simulation shows that the proposed mobile mechanism is able to make the network environment has a little longer network life. In this paper, we used a linear regression method to obtain a surrogate path for the time being. In the later extension we will consider using a quadratic linear regression to see if a second regression can perform better than a regression.
