Abstract Wireless Sensor Network is a collection of sensor nodes which are used to sense the environment and forward the sensed information to the outside world. A sensor plays a major role and it is based on the underlying application either static sensors or mobile sensors. The nature of movement of the sensors is also under concern. In this paper, the serious effects caused by the mobility factor in the performance of the network in terms of Quality of Service (QOS) parameters such as throughput, stability and coverage are investigated. Simulation experiments are conducted by varying the speed of the nodes, number of nodes and Communication Radius. Results indicate that the network performs well at high speeds when compared to low speed. Also, a notable improvement is achieved in terms of coverage, stability and throughput on increasing the communication radius and number of nodes.
