The sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks have the deficiency of limited energy, and the multihop transmission of information will lead to a premature paralysis of nodes near the sink. The use of the mobile sink can balance the energy consumption and greatly prolong the lifetime. Therefore, this article studies the scheduling strategy of multiple mobile sinks and proposes a heuristic strategy based on interval type-2 fuzzy rough neural network. The energy and lifetime of sensor nodes, as well as location information of the mobile sink and special nodes are taken as input features. Through neural network learning, the outputs determine whether to move, moving direction, moving distance, and residence time, which can complete the scheduling task. The scheduling problem is regarded as a multiobjective optimization problem, and the network lifetime, the moving path length, and the network interpretability are optimized at the same time, so as to obtain a lightweight network with good interpretability and performance. Based on the parallel multiobjective evolutionary algorithm, a multiobjective neural evolutionary framework is constructed. This framework can balance multiple objectives and complete complex scheduling tasks. Compared with static sinks, random-moving sinks, sinks with manually designed strategy, gene expression programming-based sinks, as well as the other state-of-the-art multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, the proposed framework can achieve superior results.
