IoT based Wireless Sensor Network Improvement Against Jammers Using Ad-Hoc Routing Protocols

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnected network of electronic objects, machines, and physical items in our environment. Wireless Sensor Network is the key component of Internet of Things. Wi-Fi is used by IoT to link home appliances to the internet so that they may be managed and controlled remotely. Sensors were used in WSN technology to sense and gather data from various smart home components, then send it to a gateway. In this paper, the performance of IoT based WSN had been examined when the Jammers interfered with the normal operation of the network and caused deficiency in network from the delay, throughput and data dropped points of view which they are important parameters to examine the performance of any network. The aim of this paper is to improve the degradation in performance caused by Jammers using three Ad Hoc routing protocols (AODV, OLSR and GRP) in number of different Riverbed Modeler Simulation scenarios for different audio and video applications. The results showed that the Ad Hoc routing protocols played a significant role in network performance. AODV had been investigated a better delay and data dropped improvement with acceptable throughput improvement while OLSR had the best throughput among other routing protocols with acceptable improvement in delay and data dropped. According to the research, an intelligent system should be used to decide whether a route is used for applications with a high throughput requirement or low delay and data loss.
