| description | The resource-constrained nature of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) creates a number of difficulties in their operation and design that lower their performance. However, distinct applications with unique constraints in their nature make it more difficult for such resource-constrained networks to meet application objectives. These issues can be observed at various WSN layers, from the physical layer up to the application layer. Routing protocols are primarily focused on WSN functioning at the routing layer. These obstacles make routing protocols perform worse, which lowers the performance of WSNs as a whole. This study’s objective is to pinpoint WSN performance issues and examine how they affect routing protocol performance. To this end, a detailed literature review was conducted to determine the problems influencing the performance of the routing protocols. Then, an actual investigation was carried out by simulating various routing protocols, taking into consideration these issues, in order to validate the impact of the discovered challenges from the literature. The findings are shown. On the basis of the findings from the empirical study and the literature review, suggestions are offered for a better protocol choice in light of the application nature and the problems that need to be addressed. |
