Performance Analysis of Routing for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of static or mobile sensor nodes by selfconfiguring. The nodes get in touch with each other via a special wireless that is utilized to send information between the source and destination nodes. Each sensor node is very cheap and has limited resources such as limited battery power, low bandwidth and so on during the delivery of message from one node to another. In this paper, we used NS-2 to simulate and implemented routing protocols like DSDV protocol, AODV protocol and DSR protocol for many numbers of nodes. We compared network parameters, analyzed and evaluated the performance with comparing the endto-end delay, packet delivery fraction (PDF), throughput and packet loss rate. As the number of nodes increases and the network expands, the performance of the DSDV protocol will decline. When the number of nodes is more than three hundred, the DSDV protocol will lose efficacy.
