Simulation Environments of WSN

DEBRAJ PAUL M-TECH(CSE) ROLL NO:9

Introduction of WSN
Wireless Sensor networks are a particular

type of adhoc network. WSN formed by a large no of nodes. Nodes:physical device monitoring a set of physical
variables communicates via a redio channel.

Introduction of WSN(Cont)
Nodes:Internally protocol stack controls

communications.
WSN can be considered as a particular type of MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK(MANET).

Design challenges

Energy conservation

Unstructured and/or time-varying network topology Low quality communications

Design challenges(Cont)

Resource-constrained computation: Protocols for ad-hoc networks must strive to provide the desired proformance level in spite of the few available resources.

Scalability:protocols must efficiently operate in presence of a large no of nodes.

What is simulation environment?

Simulation environment that can be used to simulate wsns, covering simulation environment that were extended to support wsns.

simulation environment(Cont)

Adaptive Development: Covers simulation environments that already existed.

New Development: Covers new simulators which were created solely for simulating wsn.

Different types of Simulation Environments

GloMoSim /QualNet: (version 2.0 Dec 2000/0.5 Nov 2009) Scalable simulation environment, Written by parsec a C based simulation language. windows xp & unix windows supports. It can support MOBILITY.

Simulation Environments

OPNET Modeler Wireless Suite: (Version 16.0,released Dec 2009). It is developed by OpNet Technologies. provides an Object-Oriented modeling approaches . It supprots MOBILITY

Simulation Environments(Cont)

OMNeT++: (Version 4.0 March 2009)

Object Oriented Discrete network simulator framework. Basic modules C++;larger structure NED. Active project with huge user base.

Supports MOBILITY.

Simulation Environments(Cont)

J-Sim : (version 1.3 + patch4 Jul 2006) Component based compositional simulation environment. It supports autonomous component architecture. Written by object oriented technology like java. Includes sensor packages.

Simulation Environments(Cont)

Avrora : (Version Beta 1.7.106 Aug 2008) Simulation and simulation tools. AVR microcontroller binaries. Implemented bt Java. Supports diffreent sensor platform such as Mica2 and Mica Z

Simulation Environments(Cont)

SENSE : (3.1 Nov 2008) Sensor Network Simulator and Emulator. promotes reusability & extensibility. programming language is c++. SENSE based on COST. It includes battery and power models. supports protocols like MAC layers(IEEE802.11).

Simulation Environments(Cont)

TOSSIM (Part of tiny OS) : (Version 2.1.1 Apr 2010) A discrete event simulator. It takes the advantages of Component Based Arehitecture of Tiny OS. programming Language is nesCa c based language. It has external communication system.

Features of a GOOD Simulator

Reusability and availability. Performance and Scalability. Support for rich_semantics Scripting language to define experiments and process results. Graphical,debug and trace supprot.

Objective Of My Seminar

Work of face the challenges like energy consumtion of WSN. To complile my code in a good environment. Choosen TOSSIM (Part of tinyOS) for my project work.
