ABSTRACT 
Recently, the “big dat” emerged as a hot topic because of the tremendous growth 
of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT). One of the highly anticipated 
key contributors of the big data in the future networks is the distributed Wireless Sensor 
Networks (WSNs). Although the data generated by an individual sensor may not appear 
to be significant, the overall data generated across numerous sensors in the densely 
distributed WSNs can produce a significant portion of the big data. Energy-efficient big 
data gathering in the densely distributed sensor networks is, therefore, a challenging 
research area. One of the most effective solutions to address this challenge is to utilize 
the sink node’s mobility to facilitate the data gathering. While this technique can reduce 
energy consumption of the sensor nodes, the use of mobile sink presents additional 
challenges such as determining the sink node’s trajectory and cluster formation prior to 
data collection. In this paper, we propose a new mobile sink routing and data gathering 
method through network clustering based on modified Expectation- Maximization (EM) 
technique. In addition, we derive an optimal number of clusters to minimize the energy 
consumption. The effectiveness of our proposal is verified through numerical results.

INTRODUCTION 
RECENT development of various areas of Information and Communication Technology 
(ICT) has contributed to an explosive growth in the volume of data. According to a 
report published by IBM in 2012 [1] , 90 percent of the data in the world was generated 
in the previous two years. As a consequence, the concept of the big data has emerged 
as a widely recognized trend, which is currently attracting much attention from 
government, industry, and academia [2]. As shown in Fig. 1, the big data comprises 
high volume, high velocity, and high variety information assets [3], which are difficult to 
gather, store, and process by using the available technologies. 
The variety indicates that the data is of highly varied structures (e.g. data 
generated by a wide range of sources such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), Radio 
Frequency Identification (RFID), and sensors) while the velocity refers to the high 
speed processing/analysis (e.g., click-streaming, fast database transactions, and so 
forth). On the other hand, the volume refers to the fact that a lot of data needs to be 
gathered for processing and analysis. Although currently used services (e.g. social 
networks, cloud storage, network switches, and so forth) are already generating much 
volume of the big data. it is anticipated that more and more data will be generated 
by sensors/RFID devices such as thermometric sensors, atmospheric sensors, motion 
sensors, accelerometers, and so on. In fact, according to a report by ORACLE [4], the 
volume of data generated by sensors and RFID devices is expected to reach the order 
of petabytes. Interestingly as shown in Fig. 1, the sensors are responsible for 
generation of big data in big volume and also in a wide variety

Literature Survey 
2. Problem Statement : 
First, the network is divided to some sub-networks because of the limited 
wireless communication range. For example, sensors deployed in a building may not be 
able to communicate with the sensors which are distributed in the neighboring buildings. 
Therefore, limited communication range may pose a challenge for data collection from 
all sensor nodes. 
Second, the wireless transmission consumes the energy of the sensors. Even 
though the volume of data generated by an individual sensor is not significant, each 
sensor requires a lot of energy to relay the data generated by surrounding sensors. 
Especially in dense WSNs, the life time of sensors will be very short because each 
sensor node relays a lot of data generated by tremendous number of surrounding 
sensors. In order to solve these problems, we need an energy-efficient method to 
gather huge volume of data from a large number of sensors in the densely distributed 
WSNs. 
Analysis on Existing Networks 
The data compression technology [7] is capable of shrinking the volume of the 
transmitted data. Although it is easy to be implemented, the data compression 
technology requires the nodes to be equipped with a big volume of storage and high 
computational power. In addition, the topology control technology can evaluate the best 
logical topology and reduce redundant wireless transmissions [8], [9]. When the 
redundant wireless transmissions are reduced, the required energy for wireless 
transmissions can be also reduced. Furthermore flow control and routing can choose
the path which consists of nodes having high remaining energy [10], [11]. However, 
these techn technologies are not able to deal with the divided networks problem.

3.Idea on proposed System: 
we propose an energy minimized clustering algorithm by using the Expectation- 
Maximization (EM) algorithm for 2-dimensional Gaussian mixture distribution. 
Our proposal aims to minimize the sum of square of wireless communication distance 
since the energy consumption is proportional to the square of the wireless 
communication distance. Moreover, we first focus on the “data request flooding 
problem” to decide the optimal number of clusters. The data request flooding problem 
refers to the energy inefficiency that occurs when all the nodes broadcast data request 
messages to their respective neighboring nodes. This problem wastes energy, 
particularly in the high density WSNs. Previous research work advocates increasing the 
number of clusters to reduce the data transmission energy. However, in this paper, we 
point out that an excessive number of clusters can result in performance degradation, 
and therefore, we propose an adequate method for deriving the optimal number of 
clusters

CONCLUSION 
we investigated the challenging issues pertaining to the collection of the “big data” 
generated by densely distributed WSNs. Our investigation suggested that 
energyefficient big data gathering in such networks is, indeed, necessary. 
While the conventional mobile sink schemes can reduce energy consumption of the 
sensor nodes, they lead to a number of additional challenges such as determining the 
sink node’s trajectory and cluster formation prior to data collection. To address 
these challenges, we proposed a mobile sink based data collection method by 
introducing a new clustering method. Our clustering method is based upon a modified
Expectation- Maximization technique. Furthermore, an optimal number of clusters to 
minimize the energy consumption was evaluated. Numerical results were presented to 
verify the effectiveness of our proposal
