A Protocol for Self-Synchronized Duty-Cycling in Sensor Networks: Generic Implementation in Wiselib

摘要

In this work we present a protocol for self-synchronized duty-cycling inwireless sensor networks with energy harvesting capabilities. The protocol isimplemented in Wiselib, a library of generic algorithms for sensor networks.Simulations are conducted with the sensor network simulator Shawn. They arebased on the specifications of real hardware known as iSense sensor nodes. Theexperimental results show that the proposed mechanism is able to adapt tochanging energy availabilities. Moreover, it is shown that the system is veryrobust against packet loss.
