Analysis of single-hop routing protocol evaluation models in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks have been pushed to the forefront in recent decades owing to the advent of the internet of networks. There exist some crucial parameters which affect the reliability and lifetime performance of typical applications in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we implement the single-hop protocol with J-Sim simulation tool. Then, we analyse the closure relationships among the density, radius, reliability and lifetime and disclose the trade-off analysis results among them. Next, we propose that two intelligent evaluation models can be applied to under such situations. Thus, wireless sensor network users can predict the lifetime and reliability directly and simulations will be not necessary. This paper also discusses the disadvantages of this approach.
