Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network is composed of hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes scattered in a geographical area and one or multiple sinks collecting information or transmitting it through wireless channels. Zigbee and WiMAX are the most advancing communication technologies of Wireless Sensor Network. WiMAX is a standard IEEE 802. 16 based technology which supports internet access and VOIP application whereas Zigbee is the only standard IEEE 802. 15. 4 based technology designed to address the unique needs of low cost, low power WSNs which provide high data rate at complexity and costs. In this paper, a comparative analysis of Zigbee and WiMAX technologies is made in a 100 node network scenario, by incorporating different routing protocols and studying the affect on the QoS parameters such as throughput and PDR(Packet Delivery Ratio).
