Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging area of research and development. It promises a new domain of innovations with a lot many challenging issues in the field of networking. One of the popular areas of research in WSN is optimization strategies of routing protocols with respect to different performance matrices like throughput calculation between the sensor nodes, end to end delay between nodes, packet losses, Jitter and many more. In this paper, we have proposed two different topology models i.e. star topology and ring topology and calculated and plotted results of throughput between nodes, average throughput, delay, packet losses and jitter. The result shows a detailed comparison on the basis of average throughput, packet losses, Jitter and end to end delay between two topologies which comprises six sensor nodes connected through a wireless medium.
