To achieve the goal, different performance metrics have been analyzed such as throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), loss packet ratio (LPR) and end to end delay (End to End) by varying packet interval time, packet size and number of nodes through network simulator NS3 for wireless sensor network with a practical wildlife scenario. | International Journal of Computer Networks and Communications Security C VOL. 6, NO. 1, JANUARY 2018, 17–23 Available online at: E-ISSN 2308-9830 (Online) / ISSN 2410-0595 (Print) N C S Wildlife Monitoring using AODV Routing Protocol in Wireless Sensor Network Md.

The sensed data is sent to the user easily with it which depends on some local decision process. But it has limitation in battery power consumption and transmission range. In applications like wildlife monitoring, tracking animals’ movement and behavior, reliable communication between sink node and the sensing nodes is very crucial where the routing protocols play vital role for WSN. But for such kind of application, the performance of WSN routing protocols has not been analyzed under any research work so far. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of a WSN routing protocol known as Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) for wildlife monitoring application. To achieve the goal, different performance metrics have been analyzed such as throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), loss packet ratio (LPR) and end to end delay (End to End) by varying packet interval time, packet size and number of nodes through network simulator NS3 for wireless sensor network with a practical wildlife scenario.
