A Survey of Wireless Sensor Network Hardware Platforms and Simulation Tools
Main Article Content
Abstract
To give a general picture of main-stream hardware platforms used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and help people to
choose different sensor nodes platforms according to different needs, a comparison of commonly used sensor node hardware platforms has
been presented in this paper. Simulation tools for wireless sensor networks are increasingly being used to study sensor networks and to test
new applications and protocols in this evolving research field. This paper provides comparisons of various popular sensor network
hardware platforms and simulators with a view to help researchers choose the best available for a particular application environment.
