Abstract:
The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) is widespread; it covers, particularly, environmental and critical systems monitoring. Since the structure of the WSN has various layers including the application, the routing, the transfer, the Media Access Control(MAC) and the Radio Frequency(RF) Media, its dependability evaluation can be challenging. This paper defines the essential components of the network layers’ benchmark, which are: the target, the execution profile, and the robustness measure. The dependability assessment is addressed in our benchmark by focusing on three standard protocols: Ad- Hoc on Demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV), Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and Destination Sequence Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DSDV). The NS-3 simulator was used for the test bed. After the evaluation campaigns, we noticed that the DSDV and AODV protocols have an equivalent robustness. OLSR is the least robust but it is a fail-safe protocol.
