Summary:
In recent years, advances in wireless technologies have enabled novel applications for wireless devices. Sensor network is one such application that consists of large number of battery-operated nodes. To simulate such networks with large number of nodes, a wireless sensor network simulator that is highly scalable is vital. JiST/SWANS is one such simulator that is highly scalable. However, the JiST/SWANS MAC layer implementation of 802.11b is not suitable for sensor networks, which are energy-constrained. Hence, our main focus is to implement the S-MAC protocol in JiST/SWANS. The S-MAC protocol allows the nodes to go to sleep and thereby it helps conserve energy. This subsequently helps the nodes to extend their effective lifetime. We validate our S-MAC protocol implementation in the JiST/SWANS through simulations.
