Abstract (EN): Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of small devices with processing, communication and sensing capabilities. These devices interact together to carryout monitoring tasks. An example of such network is a photo-voltaic (PV) power plant where each solar panel has a sensor. The number of interconnected solar panels can become very large, and spread over a large area. Each sensor will sense the output of the panel and send this value to a central node for processing. In this paper we evaluate the performance of a wireless sensor network employing three different data collecting techniques. The study considers different networks, each with a different number of nodes and with different values for the offered load, estimating for each network size and offered load, network throughput, packet loss and end-to-end packet delay. Results show that as the size of the network grows and for higher values of the offered load, the best performance is achieved by using a polling based data collecting technique. © 2012 IEEE.
