Performance Evaluation Of Routing Protocols In Wireless Sensor Networks

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Computer Engineering, grade: 3.71, Cyprus International University, language: English, abstract: In this thesis, three Wireless Sensor Networks – Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector, Dynamic Source routing protocol and Optimized Link State routing protocol have been simulated and compared in typical IoT scenarios. Their performance was evaluated using three performance metrics and then they were compared; the performance metrics are Routing Overhead, Average End to End Delay and Throughput. Different number of nodes with different percentages of mobile nodes were analyzed. Specifically, number of nodes analyzed were 20, 40, 60 and 70 with the number of mobile nodes 10, 15 and 20 using OPNET while with NS 3 20, 60 and 100 nodes were analyzed. For each of the number of nodes, all the number of mobile nodes were evaluated. The routing protocols were analyzed using the OPNET Simulation Software and NS-3and the environment size for the simulation was 1000m by 1000m. IoT has continue to grow bigger since from its inception. Many mobile devices are now available, the internet and its application have only grown bigger and better. As IoT is continually growing, so also is the complexity, as a result issues pertaining routing have also increased. Many researches have been made in attempt to proffer solutions that will either minimize or eliminate these routing issues. Different routing protocols have been designed with different specifications for different applications of the IoT. Also, attempts have been made to implement routing protocols of other types of networks in the IoT.

This book gathers high-quality research papers presented at the Second International Conference on Innovative Computing and Communication (ICICC 2019), which was held at the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, on 21–22 March 2019. Highlighting innovative papers by scientists, scholars, students, and industry experts in the fields of computing and communication, the book promotes the transformation of fundamental research into institutional and industrialized research, and the translation of applied research into real-world applications.

The power of wireless sensor networks (WSN) lies in the ability to deploy large numbers of tiny nodes that assemble and configure themselves. Usage scenarios for these devices range from real-time tracking, to monitoring of environmental conditions, to Military applications, to monitoring of the health of structures or equipment. There is extensive research in the development of new algorithms for data aggregation, ad hoc routing, and distributed signal processing in the context of wireless sensor networks. As the algorithms and protocols for wireless sensor network are developed, they must be supported by a low-power, efficient and flexible hardware platform. This book describes systematic performance study of two state-of-the-art dynamic routing protocols for WSN, the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) and the Ad Hoc On-Demand DistanceVector protocol (AODV).

The ability to sense and monitor a variety of environmental conditions using un-tethered sensors offers a significant change over traditional sensing systems that need to be strategically positioned and have topologies engineered. As such, recent research into wireless sensor networks has attracted great interest due to its diversity of applications, ranging in areas such as home, health, environmental and military applications. In this thesis, the evaluation of a routing protocol developed by Crossbow Technologies called XMesh, is presented. The main components of the routing protocol are described and the routing algorithm explained. Experiments were conducted to determine the connectivity ranges of motes in different transmission power settings. The relationship of mote transmission power and network connectivity is presented. An energy efficiency study looked at the means of extending the lifespan of the network. Although, packet losses during the period of a node failure were significant, the routing protocol showed that it was able to adapt and reorganize to provide reliable and stable routing in a network.

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, grade: 70%, Griffith College Dublin (Faculty of Computing ), course: MSC Computing , language: English, abstract: Modern wireless sensor network can be expanded into large geographical areas via cheap sensor devices which can sustain themselves itself with very a low power usage. The networking capability enables these sensor nodes to incorporate, collaborates, and coordinates with among each other , and this is a fundamental shift in the field of networks which differentiates sensor network nodes form other networks such as IP-datagram, Ad-Hoc and so on. Currently, routing in the wireless sensor network faces multiple challenges, such as new scalability, coverage, packet loss, interference, real-time audio and video real time streaming, harsh weather environments, energy constraints and so forth. Network routing can be called an amalgamation of routing protocol and routing algorithm. The job of the routing protocols is to provide a cohesive view of network nodes topology while routing algorithm provides the intelligence in terms of optimal path calculation. We set out to conduct a detailed study of routing protocols in a IP-datagram, wireless ad-hoc and sensor network, and also accomplished routing protocols comparison against the chosen network performance factor dropped packet ratio. Routing protocols play an important role in modern wireless communication networks. Routing protocols’ performance can be measured by a number of factors such as packet dropped rate and so forth. Rumour and Optimal Spinal Routing algorithms are compared using ShoX simulation and the results and analysis are based upon the simulation experiments.
