Abstract
Objective: The objective of this research is to assess the performance and Quality of Service (QoS) provided by PDCH when compared with ECHERP and MBC routing protocols(RPs) within Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Methods: Utilizing the NS2 Simulator, this paper provides an in-depth exploration of three hierarchical RPs viz. Equalized Cluster Head Election RP (ECHERP), Mobility Based Clustering (MBC), and PDCH (PEGASIS with Double Cluster head). A thorough examination of each protocol's performance is conducted, focusing on a range of QoS metrics such as Energy Consumption, Packet Drop Ratio, Throughput, and Delay. Findings: A comparative assessment is conducted between PDCH, ECHERP, and MBC, extracting QoS parameters. The examination and findings reveal that PDCH exhibits superior performance over ECHERP by 26.15%, 20%, 15.71%, and 37.73%. Similarly, PDCH outperforms MBC by 23.19%, 14.29%, 4.87%, and 15.13% across the mentioned parameters. Novelty: In this simulation, the NS2 software is utilized, with a specific emphasis on the suggested parameters. These metrics are crucial for evaluating the overall performance of different RPs in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
