Performance Analysis of Energy Aware LAR Protocol in IEEE 802.15.4 based Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, performance analysis of energy aware Location Aided Routing (LAR) Protocol is done for IEEE 802.15.4 based Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks considering mobile nodes. Random Waypoint Mobility Model is considered as the mobility model in the scenario. The various sce narios are designed and simulated by increasing the number of mobile nodes and varying the speed of the mobile nodes. The perf ormance parameters such as throughput, average end to end delay, average jitter and residual energy for different type of sc enarios are determined. The simulation is done by using Qualnet 6.1 simulator.
