Evaluating Feasibility of Using Wireless Sensor Networks in a Coffee Crop Through Simulation of AODV, AOMDV, DSDV and their Variants with 802.15.4 MAC Protocol

摘要

A Wireless Sensor Networks is a network formed with sensors that have characteristics to sensor an area toextract a specific metric, depending of the application. We would like to analyse the feasibility to usesensors in a coffee crop. In this work we are evaluating routing protocols using real dimensions andcharacteristics of a coffee crop. We evaluate, through simulation, AODV, DSDV and AOMDV and twovariants known in this work as AODVMOD and AOMDVMOD with 802.15.4 MAC Protocol. For thiscomparison, we defined three performance metrics: Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End-to-End Delay andAverage Energy Consumption. Simulation results show that AOMDVMOD overall, outperforms othersrouting protocols evaluated, showing that is possible to use WSN in a real coffee crop environment.
