This report evaluates the performance of wireless sensor networks by comparing the AODV and DSDV routing protocols. The study utilizes network simulation tools, specifically NS-3, to model and analyze network behavior. The report details the network design, simulation setup, and the performance of each protocol under various conditions. It examines energy consumption, packet loss, and the movement of nodes over time, providing insights through visual representations of the simulations. The analysis includes trace file data, which offers a granular view of packet exchanges and energy usage patterns. The findings highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol, concluding that while DSDV provides quick and uniform data transmission, AODV is more energy-efficient. The report underscores the importance of considering both performance and energy efficiency when selecting a routing protocol for wireless sensor networks.
