Abstract

V originále

In the paper, we consider four open-source simulators -- Castalia, MiXiM, TOSSIM and WSNet. We compare these simulators and run a set of experiments on MICAz sensor nodes in the indoor and outdoor environment. Based on the data gathered from the real experiments, we calibrate the radio propagation and noise models of Castalia, MiXiM, TOSSIM and WSNet. Also, we calibrate the energy consumption model of Castalia, MiXiM and WSNet according to the MICAz datasheet. We present the results from the simulations and compare them between each other. Even though the simulators are set in the same way, their results significantly differ from each other. In the paper, we discuss possible reasons of the differences.
