ROUTING EFFICIENCY IN WIRELESS SENSOR-ACTOR NETWORKS CONSIDERING SEMI-AUTOMATED ARCHITECTURE
Keywords:
Sensor networks, sensor-actor networks, AODV, DSR, MANETAbstract
Wireless networks have become increasingly popular and advances in wireless communi- cations and electronics have enabled the development of different kind of networks such as Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Wireless Sensor-Actor Networks (WSANs). These networks have different kind of characteristics, therefore new protocols that fit their features should be developed. We have developed a simulation system to test MANETs, WSNs and WSANs. In this paper, we consider the performance behavior of two protocols: AODV and DSR using TwoRayGround model and Shadowing model for lattice and random topologies. We study the routing efficiency and compare the performance of two protocols for different scenarios. By computer sim- ulations, we found that for large number of nodes when we used TwoRayGround model and random topology, the DSR protocol has a better performance. However, when the transmission rate is higher, the routing efficiency parameter is unstable.
