VB. Additionally, the traffic load on each backbone node is less as mentioned earlier,
hence, the remaining energy decreases with the area of the deployed area increasing.
For a specific side length, we observe that LBVB has less remaining energy than GA
and MCDS. The reasons are the same as analyzed in Scenario 1.
4.6.4 Scenario 3: Change Node Transmission Range
In this scenario, 100 nodes are deployed uniformly and randomly in a square area
of 300 m ×300 m. The node transmission range is incremented from 40 to 65 by 5.
The simulation results are recorded in Figure 4.6, where the X-axis represents the
node transmission ...
