Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offer much promise for target tracking and environmental monitoring. While many WSN routing protocols have been proposed to date, most of these focus on the mobility of observers and assume that targets are fixed. In addition, WSNs often operate under strict energy constraints, and therefore reducing energy dissipation is also an important issue. In this paper we discuss various protocols like Bellman-Ford, Ad-Hoc on-Demand Routing (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Dynamic MANET On-demand Protocol (DYMO) and compare various parameters like Average End-to-End Delay (sec.), Residual Battery Capacity (mAhr), and Throughput (bits/sec.), Output Received at CBR Server.
