Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks monitor their
surrounding environment for the occurrence of some
anticipated phenomenon. Most of the research related to
sensor networks considers the static deployment of sensor
nodes. Mobility of sensor node can be considered as an
extra dimension of complexity, which poses interesting
and challenging problems. Node mobility is a very
important aspect in the design of effective routing
algorithm for mobile wireless networks. In this work we
intent to present the impact of different mobility models
on the performance of the wireless sensor networks.
Routing characteristics of various routing protocols for
ad-hoc network were studied considering different
mobility models. Performance metrics such as end-to-end
delay, throughput and routing load were considered and
their variations in the case of mobility models like
Freeway, RPGM were studied. This work will be useful to
figure out the characteristics of routing protocols
depending on the mobility patterns of sensors
