In this paper we study data collection in an energy harvesting sensor network for traffic monitoring and surveillance purpose on busy highways, where sensors are densely deployed along a pre-defined path and a mobile sink travels along the path to collect data from one-hop sensors periodically. As the sensors are powered by renewable energy sources, the time-varying characteristics of energy harvesting poses great challenges on the design of efficient routing protocols for data collection in such energy harvesting sensor networks. In this paper we first formulate a novel data collection maximization problem that deals with multi-rate transmission mechanism and transmission time slot scheduling among the sensors. We then show the NP-hardness of the problem and devise an offline algorithm with a provable approximation ratio for the problem by exploiting the combinatorial property of the problem, assuming that the global knowledge of the network topology and the profile of each sensor are given. We also develop a fast, scalable online distributed solution for the problem without the global knowledge assumption, which is more suitable for real distributive sensor networks. In addition, we consider a special case of the problem for which a optimal polynomial solution is given. We finally conduct extensive experiments by simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are very efficient, and the solutions are fractional of the optimum.
