This report provides an in-depth analysis of wireless sensor networks, focusing on the performance evaluation of DSDV and AODV routing protocols. The study utilizes network simulation (NS-2) and the Network Animation tool (NAM) to model and analyze the behavior of these protocols under various conditions. The report details the simulation setup, including the number of nodes, traffic types, and simulation duration. It presents the behavior of each protocol at different time intervals, highlighting packet exchange, energy consumption, and node movement. Trace file analysis is used to examine the detailed packet transmission and reception, as well as energy usage patterns. The results section includes graphs illustrating packet delivery, loss rates, and energy consumption. The report concludes by comparing the performance of DSDV and AODV, suggesting that DSDV provides equitable packet exchange over time but consumes more energy, while AODV is more energy-efficient, making it suitable for energy-constrained environments. The report provides valuable insights into the trade-offs between the two protocols and offers recommendations for their appropriate use in wireless sensor network applications.
