Comparative Investigations on Performance of Routing Protocols in Presence of Realistic Radio Models for WSNs

In this paper, we have compared and analyzed the Constrained Flooding, the Real-Time Search and the Adaptive Tree sensor network protocols on MICA platform using Prowler. The simulation results obtained show that the AT protocol has the highest throughput in case of RMGMF while CF protocol has the highest throughput in case of RMSINR. Further, the RTS protocol has the highest throughput in case of NRM. The lifetime of AT, CF and RTS protocols is better in case of RMGMF, NRM and RMGMF respectively.
