Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive analysis of topological network performance in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) domain. With the increasing deployment of WSNs in diverse applications, selecting the most suitable network topology is crucial for optimizing performance and resource utilization. The objective of the study is twofold. Initially, this study conducts an in-depth examination of four prominent topologies: Star, Mesh, Tree, and Cluster, evaluating their performance across key parameters, such as reliability, energy efficiency, scalability, latency, fault tolerance, deployment, and cost. The findings contribute valuable insights into the trade-offs and advantages associated with each topology aiding network designers and researchers in making informed decisions for WSN deployments tailored to specific application requirements. Second, this research offers a valuable reference point for optimizing WSN performance and enhancing the effectiveness ...
