Abstract

Many research areas have benefited from simulations to acquire reliable data before conducting real experiments. In order to obtain these data, the actual system has to be precisely modelled and fed with accurate parameters. Sensor networks can and also have taken advantage from simulations. For example, they can be very convenient when planning the development and deployment of an underwater sensor network. This paper presents the behaviour of different medium access techniques by means of simulation and employing accurate models fed with real data. Parameters like energy consumption and packet delay are measured and the impact of the transmission speed on the performance of the protocols is studied.
