Abstract

In recent years, mobile sensor networks (MSNs) have become a hot area of research, in which sensor nodes are mobile. The proper selection of a routing protocol in a MSN is very important because network performance is significantly influenced by the routing protocol. In this paper, the feasibility of the two routing protocols in MSNs is studied and discussed with respect to network performance. The two protocols are destination sequence distance vector (DSDV) and ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocols and they are popularly used in mobile ad hoc networks. Our simulation study shows that the two routing protocols can be effectively used in MSNs and AODV is more reliable with affordable burden compared to DSDV.
