**11. Results**

We conduct a performance evaluation of our policy based on the following metrics:


### **11.1. Total throughput**

Table 6 illustrates the ability of the smart routing protocol to meet performance requirements of a number of applications. The Ultrawideband (UWB) cluster, which executes a video monitoring application, achieves total network throughput that varies between 84.4 Mbps and 3.4 Gbps. Meanwhile, the Zigbee cluster achieves a maximum real-time throughput of 794.9 kbps in performing temperature monitoring; recall that Zigbee transmissions are only capable of achieving single throughputs of 250 kbps. The WiMax mesh network, in providing long-haul transmission to the centralized controlling station, achieves total network throughput of between 39.6 and 485.7 Mbps. This result illustrates the suitability of UWB for next-generation wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as UWB expands the range of applications that can be used for state-of-the-art resource management.
