A Comparison Study for Different Wireless Sensor Network Protocols

摘要

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) nodes are usually communicate with each other through wireless channels with no need for any network infrastructure. Multiple hops are used by the nodes to exchange data, therefore a routing protocol is needed to communicate in such a network for efficient, short time delivery of the data and prolong the network life. There are different types of protocols can be used in these networks based on what is used for. In this study, AODV, DSDV, DSR were explained and compared as they are some of the main protocols used in WSN. We also highlight the Throughput and Average End to End delay which been used to compare these protocols with variations of the number of nodes.
