The planning and deployment of a WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) in a Smart City can be a very challenging work. People involved in such implementation must be aware of how sensors and sinks may behave in the target environment. To aid the development of new WSNs, simulation tools are often used to predict how nodes will interact before spending time and money in a real deployment. Also, simulator can help students better understand WSNs. In this paper, we present MobSink, a simulator for WSNs with multiple mobile sinks. MobSink also allows to perform simulations in a Smart City scenario, with streets and movements constraints. It also shows how to configure MobSink for a generic scenario and describes how it works internally.

Tools And Techniques

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have earned an upsurging inquisitiveness of the research community over the past decade and for the upcoming era, due to which we can realize its countless applications in various fields including medical, military, environment and academia. Wireless sensor networks composed of thousands or sometimes millions of sensor nodes which are usually operated by batteries that have limited energy, data processing, storage and transmission capacity. Moreover, these sensor nodes are densely deployed in human inaccessible regions and connected through error prone wireless links to offer a long coverage, therefore It is very difficult rather impractical to analyze the behavior of WSNs with real experiments. Most researches in this particular field are carried out by using simulation tools in several educational associations and research hubs. For this reason study of existing experimental tools for analyzing the behavior of WSNs becomes essential. This paper is intended to present a review on experimental tools and techniques available in the literature for WSNs, including simulators, emulators and test beds. These tools are highly useful for analyzing the operational behavior of wireless sensor networks. This paper also provides a roadmap for selecting appropriate experimental tools for various kinds of WSNs and its applications by taking into account their capabilities, relative ease of use and accuracy.

<p>It is the requirement of the time, to simulate/emulate for analyzing the system. Therefore we must need some tools for this specific task. This paper is for encompassing the available tools for analyzing and evaluation purpose. Paper having all these exclusive information with detail are not available. We show ATEMU, Avrora, EmStar, J-Sim, NS-2, OMNeT++ and TOSSIM. We try to analyze the tools thoroughly. We define and discusss about the operation, functionality, advantages, disadvantages and constraints. These are the main stream superb simulation tools based on state of the art techniques. We explore on the basis of popularity, accessibility (open source), complexity, accuracy, scalability, extensibility and availability of various problems in homogenous and heterogenous WSN and other networks on different platforms and with or without using different scripting languages.</p>
