The fading models play a very vital role in the performance of routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks. The fading can significantly influence network performance. In this paper, we have used Rayleigh, Fast Rayleigh and Ricean fading models for evaluating their effect in wireless sensor networks. We have used AODV routing protocol for routing data packets from source to destination. We have computed various QoS parameters such as throughput, PDR, average end-to-end delay, jitters. The simulation results show that, throughput and PDR is highest in fast Rayleigh model. The average delay and jitters is minimum in fast Rayleigh model. Overall, the network performance is better when fast Rayleigh fading model is deployed.
