Wireless sensor networks comprise of small devices called sensor nodes. Routing protocols are used in wireless sensor networks to ensure reliable multi-hop/multi-path communication. Among various routing protocols available, geographic routing is one of the most capable routing methods for wireless sensor networks due to its scalability and simplicity. The main aim of our research is to analyze static sink in geographical routing and observe its performance under various parameters such as Path Loss Exponent, Reliability, System Lifetime, Lifetime Threshold, Initial Battery Capacity etc. through extensive simulations and graphical representations. We have also highlighted problems associated with the concerned protocols. We finally conclude our research by mentioning parameter specific effects on a sensor network. We leave a future scope for analyzing mobile sink protocols through simulation, taking into consideration various parameters.
