Performance Analysis of Three Hop Reliability Model for Wireless Sensor Networks in Nuclear Power Plants

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) are a good choice for Nuclear Power Plants because of low cost and flexibility. Reliability is a crucial factor for WSN in Nuclear Power Plants since all the data collected are time critical information that should be delivered on time otherwise a huge loss could incur in terms of money, resource or even human lives. So it is a challenging task to design a routing protocol for sensor used in such harsh environments. In Three hop reliability model (3H-ACK), three copies of the same data are maintained without imposing extra cost on the network. This model works best using zone routing protocol .Compared to the models used earlier, this 3H-ACK performs well in terms of delivery ratio, throughput and avoids packet loss as far as possible.
