Abstract

In wireless sensor network research, simulation is one of the most important approaches to evaluate system or protocol performance. The accuracy of estimated results depends on selected simulation parameters. In existing analysis on wireless sensor network, simple interference models are used in simulations, which only take interference signals from nodes in a particular range into account. Based on our research, it is shown that these interference models are not accurate enough for practical wireless sensor network applications analysis. To improve the simulation quality, a full interference model is proposed. By comparing results, it is shown that the full interference model is able to provide more accurate system evaluation than traditional models.
