Simulation Study of FELGossiping protocol performance for active security system

Abstract

One of the most important issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is collecting and processing data perceived from the environment and sending that data to be processed and evaluated. So routing data towards the destination node is a fundamental task in WSN. However, the sensor nodes have a limited transmission range, and their processing and storage capabilities as well as their energy resources are also limited. Therefore, different routing protocols have been developed for WSN. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of FELGossiping routing protocol for active security system of dangerous chemical products warehouse. We compare its performance with AODV, SPEED and EQSR protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, end to end delay and energy consumption. Simulation results using Castalia/OMNeT++ show that FELGossiping has good packet delivery ratio and energy consumption performances, and medium average end to end delay.
