Abstract
The formidable growth of WSN research has opened challenging issues about their performance evaluation. Despite the steady increase in mathematical analysis and experimental deployments, most of the community has chosen simulation for
their study. Although it seems straightforward, this approach
becomes a quite delicate matter. Complexity is caused by several issues. First, the large number of nodes heavily impacts
simulation performance and scalability. Second, credible results demand an accurate characterization of the sensor radio channel.
New aspects, inherent in WSN, must be included in simulators, e.g. a physical environment and an energy model, leading to
different degrees of accuracy versus performance. Moreover, many necessary models are in the continuous-time domain (e.g.
heat transmission, battery discharge), being complex to integrate into discrete event network simulators. These issues result in
an exponential growth of the overall network state information.
