dc.description.abstract | Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are receiving a lot of research attention due to continual improvement in the technologies used
by these networks. The energy efficiency of sensor nodes and the network as a whole is of specific importance. One possible
area where energy savings can be made lies within the routing protocols employed; however, these protocols are typically only
simulated. In this work we develop a WSN testbed and conduct investigations on the fidelity of simulated energy-aware WNS
routing protocols. It was found that the real-world performance of these energy-aware protocols was significantly lower than that
predicted by simulation models. This can be mainly attributed to chip-level effects not taken into account by simulation models,
leading to simulated results that cannot be achieved in real-world deployments. This work illuminates the shortfalls of existing
simulation models and suggests ways in which these models can be improved. Additionally the testbed allows other energy-aware
routing protocols to be investigated easily. | en_US |
