Abstract

The growing use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for monitoring in different fields such as environmental sciences, industrial processes, geographical positioning, monitoring vital signs, etc., has caused the emergence of multiple tools for research and development. These tools range from specific operating systems for this type of network, to drivers with more interfaces and new models of motes. As these networks consist of many motes, it is very difficult to perform initial trials to study their operation. The use of simulators is an effective solution for the initial study of the operation of a wireless sensor network. In this paper it is presented an enhancement over MSPsim simulator focused in obtaining realistic energy consumption estimations.
