The interaction between randomly distributed sensor nodes in an underground environment can lead to establishment of a network system with efficient data delivery. There has been an increasing interest in building mobile sensor networks due to its favorable advantages and applications. This paper focuses on the analysis of factors like data received, end-to-end delay, throughput, jitter and energy consumed by sink node when different routing protocols viz. On-Demand, Table-Driven and Hybrid are applied in the same 3D network design and the sink node is kept static. It is shown here how the performance of data communication is affected when using IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The analysis is done to show the applicability of various routing protocols for agricultural monitoring. Extensive simulations are done using QualNet 6.1 network simulator to validate the results.
