Integrated Environment of Metaheuristics for Optimal Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Network with Mobile Sink

Table 1

Presentation of the three studied scenarios.

	Characteristics	α	β
		(Weighting Factor of Distance)	(Weighting Factor of Error Rate)
Scenario 1	We favor the minimization of trajectory	α ≈ 1	β ≈ 0
		(100%)
Scenario 2	We favor the minimization of Error Rate	α ≈ 0	β ≈ 1; (100%)
Scenario 3	We balance between the; trajectory and the Error Rate	α = 0.5	β = 0.5
