Wireless Sensor Networks and its Tools for Simulation

People have started using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) due to its varied applications use in different fields. By interconnecting huge number of sensor nodes, once can structure a WSN. The function of nodes depend on its applications like maintaining temperature, sensing the humidity, etc., Once the data are collected by the sensor nodes, the data are sent to the master node. Even though WSN are used in many fields, they have few shortcomings also. Researches do plenty of research work in WSN by developing new Algorithms, or creating new protocols, or formulating new techniques [1]. Once new technique is developed, it must be tested before implementing in real time. Researchers use simulation as a way for testing the new techniques they have created. Even though many simulation tools are available, only few are dedicated to WSN. In this paper, the author discusses few simulation tools which are very much useful for researchers in WSN.
