GENSEN: A Topology Generator For Real Wireless Sensor Networks Deployment
PROJECT SUMMARY
Network Simulators are important tools in network research. As the selected topology
often influences the outcome of the simulation, realistic topologies are
required to produce realistic simulation results. The topology generator
presented in this project, GenSeN, was created based on the authors’ knowledge
from several experiences. GenSeN is a tool capable of generating realistic
topologies of wireless sensor networks and, additionally, auto-configuring
important characteristics of sensor nodes, such as energy parameters. The tool
was validated by comparison with real deployment strategies and experiences.
This project contains
extensions to NS-2 (versions 2.27 and 2.28) which enable the use of this
topology generator with such simulator.
