Under the guidance of the esteemed President of Nineveh University, Prof. Dr. Osama Ismail Al-Mashhadani, and within the framework of scientific collaboration agreements with universities in Nineveh Governorate,
and under the supervision of the respected Dean of the College of Information Technology, Prof.Dr . Manar Younis Kashmoula,
Asst . Prof. Dr. Ali Othman Mohammed, Associate Dean for Scientific Affairs at the College of Information Technology, participated in the committee for the defense of a technical master’s thesis at the Northern Technical University, Engineering Technical College, Department of Computer Technology Engineering.
The title of the thesis was “Routing Algorithms Impact on The Performance and Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks,” presented by researcher Mohammed Khalif Ahmed Zakour.
The thesis aimed to:
- Design and analyze wireless sensor networks, studying the impact of the number of clusters and the selection of cluster heads on their performance and longevity.
- Simulate standard routing algorithms and examine their effect on network efficiency.
- Build a practical model for a wireless sensor network and implement it to verify the impact of routing algorithms on network performance and lifespan.
The study reached several significant conclusions, the most notable being:
- The FZ-LEACH routing algorithm provided a longer network lifespan compared to traditional protocols.
- The energy efficiency of the FZ-LEACH algorithm surpassed that of the LEACH protocol.
The defense committee consisted of the following members:
- Prof. Dr . Abdul Sattar Mohammed Khadr – Chair.
- Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali Othman Mohammed – Member.
- Asst .Prof. Dr. Ahmad Khazal Younis – Member.
- Asst. Prof. Dr. Ziyad Khalaf Faraj – Member and Supervisor.
At the conclusion of the defense, the Dean expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Ali Othman Mohammed for his scholarly efforts and contributions to the success of the defense, emphasizing the importance of such studies in advancing wireless sensor networks and enhancing their efficiency
