Abstract- The emerging field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) combines sensing, computation, and wireless communications into a single tiny device. With the strict energy constraints and application-specific characteristics, WSNs distinguish themselves from other traditional networks. A huge number of new communication protocols considering the WSNs ’ features are designed to meet the heterogeneous application requirements. Therefore, the decision to select the optimal set of protocols for a given task before a WSN’s practical deployment is an important issue. The purpose of this report is to present a proposed performance optimization system for WSNs with the given application and relative QoS requirements. The performance of a WSN can be modeled into a linear formula in terms of the multiple of assigned weight vectors and the metrics generated by simulations. This offline optimization procedure can be addressed by genetic algorithms
