摘要：Most existing simulators for WSNs (wireless sensor networks) model battery-powered sensors and provide MAC and routing protocols designed for battery-powered WSNs. Recently, however, increasingly extensive studies of energy harvesting sensor systems require the development of appropriate simulators, but there are few related studies on such simulators. Unlike existing simulators, simulators for energy harvesting WSNs require a new energy model that is integrated with the energy harvesting, rechargeable battery, and energy consuming models. Additionally, the new model must enable applications of the well-known MAC and routing protocols designed for energy harvesting WSNs and have a convenient user-friendly interface. In this work, we design and implement a user-friendly simulator for solar energy harvesting WSNs.
