An Analytical Performance Evaluation for WSNs Using Loop-Free Bellman Ford Protocol

Although several analytical models have been proposed for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with different capabilities, very few of them consider the effect of general service distribution as well as design constraints on network performance. This paper presents a new analytical model to compute message latency in a WSN with loop-free Bellman Ford routing strategy. The model considers limited buffer size for each node using M/G/1/k queuing system. Also, contention probability and resource utilization are suitably modeled. The results obtained from simulation experiments confirm that the model exhibits a high degree of accuracy for various network configurations.
