A Simulation System for Multi-mobile Sinks in Wireless Sensor Networks Considering TwoRayGround and Shadowing Propagation Models

Abstract

In this paper, we implement a simulation system for single and multi-mobile sinks in wireless sensor networks considering TwoRayGround and Shadowing propagation models, using DSR routing protocol. We investigate how the sensor network performs in these cases. We used the good put and consumed energy metrics for performance evaluation. From simulations, we have shown that the good put of multimobile sinks has the worst behavior for both Shadowing and TwoRayGround propagation models compared with single mobile sinks. Regarding the depletion, Shadowing model shows better performance than TwoRayGround model, especially in the case of multi-mobile sinks.
