mTOSSIM: A simulator that estimates battery lifetime in wireless sensor networks
Description
Knowledge of the battery lifetime of the wireless sensor network is important for many situations,
such as in evaluation of the location of nodes or the estimation of the connectivity,
along time, between devices. However, experimental evaluation is a very time-consuming
task. It depends on many factors, such as the use of the radio transceiver or the distance
between nodes. Simulations reduce considerably this time. They allow the evaluation of
the network behavior before its deployment. This article presents a simulation tool which
helps developers to obtain information about battery state. This simulator extends the
well-known TOSSIM simulator. Therefore it is possible to evaluate TinyOS applications
using an accurate model of the battery consumption and its relation to the radio power
transmission. Although an specific indoor scenario is used in testing of simulation, the simulator
is not limited to this environment. It is possible to work in outdoor scenarios too.
Experimental results validate the proposed model.
