Wireless sensor network (WSN) with mobile sink serves a lot of industrial and agricultural monitoring applications. The data collection with WSN has been popularly known in many applications such as smart environments, health monitoring, habitat monitoring, surveillance and tracking systems. The mobile sink moves to the corresponding cluster and gathers the data and moves to the next cluster head (CH) for the same. The data loss and waiting time of the data in the CH results from energy consumption and work repetition. This article provides a novel energy efficient data collection scheme. The data collection is done by the sink in a Polling based M/G/1 server model. The cluster member (CM) sends the data in N threshold model to the CH. The CH gathers the data from the CM and reports to sink once it arrives nearby. The energy efficient cluster head selection algorithm is evaluated with the proposed model and the waiting time is analyzed. The data arrival from the CM to the CH is considered as Poisson in nature. The sink mobility with respect to polling system is analyzed. The sink data collection is done through dynamic polling mechanism based on the CH arrival rate. The proposed algorithm outperforms the modified low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy and energy-aware multi-hop routing protocol (M-GEAR) protocols in terms of lifetime, waiting time and throughput. The proposed algorithm provides high resistance to energy hole and HOTSPOT problem.
