Modeling and evaluation of the building management framework based on the Castalia WSN simulator

摘要: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of cooperating tiny wireless devices having computational, communication and sensing capabilities. To effectively program WSNs, specific high-level frameworks exist that make transparent the low-level mechanisms sensor platforms. However, deployment applications developed by such onto real WSNs is a challenge, specifically as some design implementation choices can be carefully tuned only after application testing, which well-known to non practicable atop WSNs. This paper proposes simulation-based approach for designing WSN based on Building Management Framework (BMF). A BMF-based evaluated Castalia simulator before its deployment. Such an evaluation provides important performance measurements data delivery ratio energy consumption with respect scale network, duty cycle BMF operating modes. Simulation results allow finely tune parameters optimal execution.
