An energy-aware co-simulation framework for the design of wireless sensor networks

Published: 04 May 2008 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present an energy-aware framework for the design of wireless sensor networks, based on a hardware/software/network co-simulation strategy. The framework enables fast development and optimization of software power management policies, since it allows to run real software that can be easily ported on target hardware nodes. The capabilities of the simulation framework have been stressed by comparing different power management strategies, exploring their power-performance trade-offs and their effectiveness in various network conditions.
