Evaluation of TEEN and APTEEN hybrid routing protocols for wireless sensor network using NS-3

Abstract:

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) with hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes can collect information from a location and transmit the data to a particular user, depending on the application. These sensor nodes have some limitations due to their limited power, storage capacity and computing power. Data is routed from one node to another using different routing protocols. The position of the nodes can significantly affect the useful life of the network. The distribution of a non-uniform node (random location) in a certain area can cause many collisions between packets and therefore unbalanced traffic. Two routing protocols are evaluated; TEEN and APTEEN. As a methodology, the empirical method is used to simulate scenarios with high data traffic, as well as the analytical method to design the connection or topology that converges in energy efficiency. The result suggests that the routing protocol APTEEN in hierarchical cluster topology is the best efficiency in energy consumption.
