Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been regarded as a distinguished Ad Hoc network that can be used for a specific application. Since a WSN consists of potentially hundreds of lo cost, small size and battery powered sensor nodes, it has more potentials than others Ad Hoc networks to be deployed in many emerging areas. But they also raised many new challenges and these challenges include the design of embedded sensors and wireless networking technologies, i.e. routing protocols.
Many Ad Hoc routing protocols such as AODV, DSR, and DSDV, which have been developed particularly for the wireless mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs), these protocols, have been proved to perform well on MANETs.
In this paper, a performance study will be extended using some simulation network models, to investigate how will AODV, DSR, and DSDV routing protocols work on WSN using NS-2 simulator. The performance study will focus on the impact of the network size, network density (up to 450 nodes), and the number of sources (data connections). The performance metrics that will be used in this work are average end-to-end delay, packet delivery fraction, routing overheads, and average energy consumption per delivered packets.
