The Impact of Selected Parameters on the Performance of Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the article was to compare the effectiveness of the selected routing protocols for wireless sensor networks taking into account a number of specific parameters as network troughput, packet error rate and message buffer capacity for different network topologies. The simulation research was conducted in open source OMNeT++ environment. In order to achieve the assumed requirements, four different-sized network topologies were established and AODV and DYMO routing protocols were adapted.
