Abstract

In this letter, we analytically evaluate the average query response time of the Two-level Hierarchical Clustering based Hybrid-routing Protocol (THCHP) proposed recently for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The accuracy of the average query response time analysis is verified via numerical simulations. Additionally, average query response time comparisons, between THCHP and a previously proposed Adaptive Periodic Threshold-sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network (APTEEN) protocol, show that THCHP is better suited than APTEEN for delay sensitive WSN applications.
