Transmission range | 50 m, 100 m, 200 m | Varying communication radius per scenario |
Simulation time | 1000 s | Consistent across all experiments |
Routing protocol | AI-based routing | Proposed modular framework integrating RL, GA, PSO |
Comparison protocols | DVR, LSR, ACO, PSO | |
Metrics | PDR, End-to-end delay, energy consumption | Standard WSN performance indicators |
