Channel fading wasintroduced during routing for the OEDSR in a random manner. The channelfading causes the noise level in the terrain to go up, which in turn, increasesthe percentage of packets lost. With channel fading, the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) has to be increased because of an increase in the threshold for successfulpacket reception. Otherwise, the packet is dropped. It can beobserved from Figure 8.45 that the number of packets lost increases as thereceived SNR threshold is increased. When the threshold is set greater than20 dB, the percentage of packets lost is greater than 20%, that is, one out ofevery five packets transmitted are lost and have to be retransmitted. Thisalso increases the amount of energy consumed because more packets haveto be transmitted from the node. These results clearly show that protocolsfor ad hoc network cannot be directly deployed for WSNs.Example 8.9.4: Mobile NetworkThe simulation was run for networks with 40, 50, 70, and 100 nodesrandomly distributed in an area of size 2000 × 2000 m with node mobility.

As expected and observed in previousscenarios, the energy consumed using the OEDSR increases significantlyas the number of nodes increases in the network, because the nodes inthe network move in a random fashion. Due to this, the different routeshaving varying number of RNs are selected at different times. However,the energy consumed in the OEDSR is far less compared to the OEDRdue to the reasons mentioned in the static node case.The average E2E delay is still lower for the OEDSR when compared tothe OEDR as observed in Figure 8.47. Even with node mobility, fewernodes are selected as RNs in the OEDSR protocol, whereas the numbersof RNs are significantly more with the OEDR, which in turn, increase theE2E delay. The E2E delay includes the wake-up time for a node, apartfrom the transmission time. Therefore, with more RNs, waking, processing,and queuing times go up increasing the E2E delay.It can be observed from Figure 8.48 that the number of collisions in thenetwork is fewer for the OEDSR when compared with the OEDR. TheOEDR uses more RNs to transmit data from the CHs to the BS. Moreover,when selecting the MPR nodes, the nodes send information to their onehopand two-hop neighbors, and this increases the number of signals
