The paper evaluates the performance of different routing protocols in wireless sensor networks, specifically the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Adhoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocols, using various parameters such as packet delivery fraction, average throughput, and normalized routing load in a large terrain area of 2000 m x 2000 m. Results indicate that AODV outperforms DSR in terms of packet delivery fraction and normalized routing load, while DSR offers better average throughput. The study highlights the significance of routing protocol selection in optimizing performance for wireless sensor networks deployed over large areas.
