Abstract


Research on wireless sensor networks has recently received much attention as they offer an advantage of monitoring various kinds of applications. Wireless sensor networking is based on placing flexible Sensor nodes to the required area. It reduces installation and maintenance costs due to less cabling and more efficient monitoring and diagnosis. The communication operations of a node are specified by a set of protocols, or set of rules. Most of the attention, however, has been given to the routing protocols since they might differ depending on the application and network architecture. This paper introduces the performance differentials between two routing protocols families. The design issues of sensor networks are analyzed to present a classification and comparison of Directed Diffusion and SPIN from data centric routing protocols family and LEACH from hierarchical routing protocols family. Directed Diffusion, SPIN and LEACH are analyzed using varying mobility models. This comparison reveals the important features that need to be taken into consideration while designing and evaluating new routing protocols for sensor networks.
