Performance Analysis of CREIDO Enhanced Chord Overlay Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are alluring to the researchers because of its creditable and commendable wide variety of applications in the new era. The main and major impediment for sensor networks is its overall architecture and its coexistence with the other established networks. This paper discusses about the application of chord overlay protocol in mobile wireless sensor networks enhancing the robustness of overlay architecture for the betterment of packet delivery ratio by amending CREIDO packet that changes the traditional operation of stabilize function in the chord protocol. This has been extensively simulated by the help of OMNeT++ simulator and its additional frameworks for mobile wireless sensor networks and overlay networks. The result obtained from the simulation expounds that the enhanced chord accomplishes the traditional chord protocol's packet delivery ratio by 13.7 %.
