Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an evolving technology used in a diverse set of applications. WSN might be applied in isolated or hazard areas where it is hard and costly to reach the nodes. Maintaining the sensor nodes in WSN is generally a complex and difficult task especially when the size of the network is large. Energy maintenance of the sensor nodes is one of the challenging tasks in WSN. Supply energy for WSN using energy harvesting is a promising approach. It enables the sensor nodes to exploit the renewable ambient energy sources such as solar, temperature, sound and pressure to achieve a continual energy source. AODV is a routing protocol that was adopted by Zigbee for mesh network. However, not much work exists in literature that explores deeply the capabilities of AODV under energy harvesting. In this paper, extensive simulation experiments have been conducted using ns-3 to study the behavior of ADOV for energy-harvested and limited-battery WSN assuming total supply energy is the same for both approaches. We have compared AODV for both approaches using different performance metrics.
