Abstract :
In this paper, we present a comparison of four wireless sensor network protocols: MultiHopRouter, TinyAODV (ad-hoc on-demand distance-vector), GF (greedy forwarding), and GF-RSSI (greedy forward with received signal strength indication). Performance measurement was conducted on a wireless sensor network testbed for medical application research. Based on our measurements, GF-RSSI performs well in various operating conditions. Especially, it shows a high success rate of packet delivery and moderate energy consumption
