Wireless sensor networks of pegasis-based communication protocol classification in environmental monitoring

Abstract

A comparative research includes a protocol comparison based on certain parameters of performance. It allows researchers to gain insight into the different appropriate parameters with the protocols which ultimately lead to further advancement in the field. In the wireless sensor networks sector, improvements are taking place day after day. PEGASIS is a bond-oriented protocol for WSN routing. Some significant protocols based on PEGASIS architecture are studied in this document; PEGASIS, EEPB, IEEPB, PDCH, PEG-Ant, PEGASIS-PBCA, PEGASIS-IBCA, MH-PEGASIS, Multi-bond PEGASIS and Modified-PEGASIS are explored and comparison is made based on parameters that are essential to consider when selecting methodology for a specific implementation of WSNs.
