A Comparison of Wireless Sensor Network Routing Protocols on an Experimental Testbed
Ngoc Nam Pham, Jong-Hoon Youn, Chul‐Ho Won · 2006
In this paper, we present a comparison of four wireless sensor network protocols: MultiHopRouter, TinyAODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance-Vector), GF (Greedy Forwarding), and GF-RSSI (Greedy Forward with Received Signal Strength Indication). Performance measurement was conducted on a wireless sensor network testbed for medical application research. Based on our measurements, GF-RSSI performs well in various operating conditions. Especially, it shows a high success rate of packet delivery and moderate energy consumption.
