Routing Protocols for A Border Monitoring Application

In this paper, we present a survey of routing protocols for military Border monitoring application using a wireless sensor network, which requires efficient network coverage and connectivity, as well as intelligent routing protocols. During the developments in the routing protocols for our application we aim to optimize the energy consumption and the flow of information circulating inside the network, considering the case of the famous protocols AODV (Ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector) and RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks). Then, we compare the performance of RPL and AODV protocols. Results demonstrate that in terms of energy consumption RPL protocol is the most suitable for WSN/IoT applications, also the results show that Sky mote can be considered as the appropriate mote applied to guarantee quality of service of IoT applications.
