Abstract

This project presents the performance analysis of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) used in the high-end applications such as weapons sensor ship, biomedical applications, habitat sensing and seismic monitoring. Recently WSN also focuses on national security applications and consumer applications. This project shall demonstrate the performance of WSN models, which are created and simulated using QualNet developer software simulator. Several sensor nodes were uniformly deployed in the networks to create sensing phenomena. The simulation results recorded were the amount of data packets sent and received by each node, the throughput and the delay. All these graphical simulation results from several WSN models will be compared and analyzed separately. Therefore, the important factors and issues pertaining to the WSN performance will also be determined and describe briefly.
