• TITLE: TikTak: A Scalable Simulator of Wireless Sensor Networks Including Hardware/Software Interaction

  AUTHORS: Francesco Menichelli, Mauro Olivieri

  KEYWORDS: WSN Simulation, Hardware-Software Co-Emulation

  ABSTRACT: We present a simulation framework for wireless sensor networks developed to allow the design exploration and the complete microprocessor-instruction-level debug of network formation, data congestion, nodes interaction, all in one simulation environment. A specifically innovative feature is the co-emulation of selected nodes at clock-cycle-accurate hardware processing level, allowing code debug and exact execution latency evaluation (considering both protocol stack and application), together with other nodes at abstract protocol level, meeting a designer’s needs of simulation speed, scalability and reliability. The simulator is centered on the Zigbee protocol and can be retargeted for different node micro-architectures.
