Comparison Evaluation of Static and Mobile Sensor Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks Considering Packet-Loss and Delay Metrics

In this work, we carry out a comparison evaluation for mobile and static sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using TwoRayGround propagation model and different protocols. We consider packet-loss and delay metrics to evaluate the performance of WSN. The simulation results have shown that for WSN with mobile sensor nodes, the delay is better than static sensor nodes. In case of static sensor nodes, the average delay for AODV is better than DSR. However, the packet-loss of AODV is worse than DSR. For both mobile and static sensor nodes, the packet-loss of AODV is higher than DSR.
