Abstract— Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become
involved in many different areas such as military, disaster
management, and many other civic uses. So, improving the
overall performance of the network is very necessarily to achieve
the desired aim. One of the most famous protocols that used in
wireless sensor networks is the Directed Diffusion protocol. Also,
Quantum computing is a new field in computer science and it
tries to speed up the process of any computation by parallelizing
the work using the same hardware. Therefore, in this study a
comparison is conducted between the classical Directed Diffusion
Protocol and the proposed protocol that based on the weighted
Grover’s Quantum Algorithm. An example of the proposed
solution shows that our protocol is performing much better in
case of end-to-end delay and power consumption.
