Performance Analysis of DSDV, AODV AND AOMDV Routing Protocols Based on Fixed and Mobility Network Model in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks WSN is capable of autonomously forming a network without human interaction Each node in a WSN acts as a router forwarding data packets to other nodes Without routing protocols these routers cannot work together in phase A central challenge in the design of WSN is the development of routing protocols that can efficiently find routes in a network The question is which criteria should be considered when selecting a routing protocol for instance energy consumption battery life bandwidth or security We selected energy consumption as this is the most important criterion in WSN To find out the best routing protocol we analyzed three routing protocols namely AODV Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector AOMDV Ad-hoc On Demand Multiple Distance Vector and DSDV Destination Sequence Distance Vector Overall performance of these protocols was analyzed by comparing end-to-end delay throughput normalized routing load and energy consumption of the network This was accomplished by using the Network Simulator NS-2 34 over IEEE 802 11 The analysis shows that AOMDV is the best routing protocol in terms of energy consumption
