Performance of AODV Routing Protocol using Group and Entity Mobility Models in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Network is Multihop Self-configuring Wireless Network consisting of sen- sor nodes. The patterns of movement of nodes can be classified into different mobility models and each is characterized by their own distinctive features. The significance of this study is that there has been very limited investigations of the effect of mobility mod- els on routing protocol performance such as Packet Delivery Ratio, Throughput and Latency in Wire- less Sensor Network. In this paper, we have con- sidered the influence of pursue group and random based entity mobility models on the performance of Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing Pro- tocol (AODV) routing protocol. The simulation re- sults show that Pursue Group Mobility model is bet- ter than Random Based Entity model.
