Wireless Sensor Network:

It is a group of sensors that are used for monitoring as well as recording
the environmental and physical conditions like humidity, temperature,
pressure ,wind speed etc and organizing the data gathered at some
central location.
WSN has large number of applications like Building and Home
automation,
Military purpose,
Healthcare,
Robotics,etc.

There are several QOS parameters for WSN:

Throughput
Packet Delivery ratio
Delay
Jitter
Energy consumption.
Residual Energy
Routing Overheads
Number of packets dropped.

Packet Delivery Ratio

Performance of any transport layer protocol can
be evaluated using reliability,congestion energy
efficiency.
Performance Metric such as Packet Delivery ratio
is defined as ratio of number of packet received
to number of packets originated by CBR(Constant
Bit Rate) .

RELATED WORK
To evaluate the performance of network we use
Network Simulator 2.
In this 50 sensor nodes deploy randomly in 1000*1000
area using NSG tool.
By varying reporting rate we calculated packet delivery
ratio.
For routing packets we use AODV (Ad-hoc on demand
distance vector) protocol.

The simulated traffic is constant bit rate(CBR).

Proposed Network Architecture

This is, how exactly packets transfer from

source to sink.

AODV PROTOCOL
For transmission of packets we used AODV (Ad-hoc
on demand distance vector protocol).
AODV gives reactive routing
Routes are created when needed, its called on
demand.
A broadcast route discovery mechanism
RREQ(Route Request Packet) broadcasting to
find the route.
RREP(Route Reply) used to setup forward path.

Y axis

PDR

X-axis
Time Interval
Calculate PDR with respect to Reporting rate and constant packet size 50 packets.

 From previous graph, as Reporting rate increases

packet delivery ratio also increases.
When the reporting rate becomes more than 25
packets per seconds packet delivery ratio starts
decreasing. That is number of packet drop
increases due to congestion and delay in network.
So, we get our ideal reporting rate 25 packets per
seconds.

Packet Size

X-axis

Calculate PDR with respect to varying packet size and kept constant reporting rate.

Y-axis

PDR

Density

X-axis

Calculation of PDR with respect to Density of nodes with constant reporting rate 20 sec.
and constant packet size 50 packets.

 Similarly, from previous graph density of

network(No. of nodes) increases the packet
delivery ratio decreases.
For a network with nodes randomly located ,
with reporting rate 25packets per second and
packet size of 50kB,it can be said that maximum
PDR is obtained when the density of nodes is 25.

Conclusion:
As the reporting rate(Number of packets sent per
second ) increases the PDR as well up to the threshold
point,after which it stops decreasing.
Same result is followed when we vary the packet size on
the X axis keeping throughput on Y axis.
For reporting rate of 20 packets per second and packet
size of 50kB,maximum PDR is obtained for density of
network =25.
For higher density network PDR starts decreasing.
