dc.description.abstractThere has been growing interest in the Mobile WSN applications where mobility is the fundamental characteristic of the sensor nodes. Mobility poses many challenges to the routing protocols used in such applications. In this thesis we evaluate the performance of Collection Tree Protocol as applied in mobile WSN scenarios. The simulation study shows CTP performs poorly in mobile scenario because of the frequent tree re-generation resulting from node movements. We compare Collection Tree Protocol with reactive ad hoc network routing protocols. The simulation results show that collection tree protocol performs better than reactive MANET protocols in terms of data delivery ratio and control overhead under low traffic rates. The end-to-end delay obtained in case of reactive protocols is also higher compared to that obtained when using CTP, which is due to their route discovery process. This thesis presents an improved data collection protocol Fixed Node Aided CTP based on the analysis of CTP. The protocol introduces the concept of fixed aided routing into CTP. It is shown that our enhanced CTP outperforms CTP in terms of data delivery ratio and control overhead chosen as performance metrics.en
