Abstract
In this paper, we study proper routing protocols for border surveillance missions using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We assume that the sensor nodes are equipped with ZigBee transceivers for wireless communications. Three well known routing algorithms (AODV, DSR, and OLSR) are simulated in a WSN surveillance scenario. The performances of these routing algorithms are compared in terms of traffic load, delay, packet loss, and energy consumption. Our results indicate that DSR performs better than other algorithms for border surveillance applications. Moreover, a novel algorithm called “DSR_OP” is proposed for improving DSR routing in terms energy management in the network and extending the network life time. However Comparisons of WSN routing protocols (DSR, AODV, OLSR and others) are presented since many years ago, but there is no simulation with OPNET, so our novelty is that the validity of proposed method and the comparisons are confirmed by simulations in OPNET.
