Demo Abstract: Bridging the Gap between Simulated Sensor Nodes and the Real World

  • Conference paper
Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN 2010)

Abstract

We present an architecture for the interconnection of simulated sensor nodes and real node hardware. The simulator is therefore running in real-time, and the simulated nodes are able to exchange messages with real sensor nodes as if they were sent over the radio. This runs fully transparent for the application—and is well suitable for debugging purposes and general algorithm development. It is even possible to use exactly the same algorithm implementation for both simulated nodes and real sensors.
