Abstract
Most existing simulators for wireless sensor networks(WSNs) are modeling battery-based sensors and providing MAC and routing protocols designed for battery-based WSNs. However, recently, as energy harvesting sensor systems have been studied more extensively, there is an increasing need for appropriate simulators, but few related studies have employed such simulators. Unlike existing simulators, simulators for energy harvesting WSNs require a new energy model that is integrated with the energy-harvesting model, rechargeable battery model, and energy-consuming model. Additionally, it should enable the applications of the well-known MAC and routing protocols designed for energy-harvesting WSNs, as well as a user-friendly interface for convenience. In this work, we design and implement a user-friendly simulator for solar energy-harvesting WSNs.
