ABSTRACT: Quality of Service (QoS) in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a
challenging area of research because of the limited availability of resources
in WSNs. The resources in WSNs are processing power, memory, bandwidth, energy,
communication capacity, etc. Delay is an important QoS parameter for delivery
of delay sensitive data in a time constraint sensor network environment. In
this paper, an extended version of a delay aware routing protocol for WSNs is
presented along with its performance
comparison with different deployment scenarios of sensor nodes, taking
IEEE802.15.4 as the underlying MAC protocol. The performance evaluation
of the protocol is done by simulation using ns-2 simulator.
