Abstract
The diversity of applications, scarce resources, and large scale set demanding requirements for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). All requirements cannot be fulfilled by a general purpose WSN, but a development of application specific WSNs is needed. We present a novel WIreless SEnsor NEtwork Simulator (WISENES) framework for rapid design, simulation, evaluation, and implementation of both single nodes and large WSNs. New WSN design starts from high level Specification and Description Language (SDL) model, which is simulated and implemented on a prototype through code generation. One of the novel features is the back-annotation of measured values from physical prototypes to SDL model. The scalability and performance of WISENES have been evaluated with TUTWSN that is a very energy efficient new WSN. The results show only 6.7 percent difference between modeled and measured TUTWSN prototype energy consumption. Thus, WISENES hastens the development of WSN protocols and their evaluation in large networks.
