Abstract :
Performance analysis of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deals with estimating and simulating the life of the network while varying certain conditions of the network. While estimation is relatively easier, simulation based performance analysis of WSN is not trivial. In the literature we have seen simulating WSN using various means. For example, using NS-2, using MATLAB etc. In this paper we discuss our approach to simulation based performance analysis of a WSN. For validating our approach we compare performance of four algorithms used in self-organization of a WSN.
