Analysis of routing algorithms for Energy harvesting wireless sensor network

Negin Ostadabbasi

AbstractThe distribution of wireless sensor network field in modern life brings special requirements in routing protocols. The routing algorithms for being efficient in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) should satisfy the features of energy consumption optimization and extension of network lifetime. A new class of WSN with the ability of harvesting environment power; is providing in recent decades. The objective of routing algorithms in energy harvesting wireless sensor network area is not to extend network's lifetime, but is to maximize the workload.
This thesis report a comprehensive survey on both energy-efficient and energy harvesting routing algorithms in WSN field. There are few Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Network (EH-WSN) routing algorithms that are mentioned in literature. Three of these algorithms are highlighted more in publication, therefore we choose to analyse these algorithms. In this thesis we have defined some analysis metrics and implemented a simulator which fully satisfy the requirement to test our candidate algorithms. The behavioural analysis of chosen algorithms in the case of diffierent scenario are completely reported in this thesis.
