摘要:Simulation tools for wireless sensor networks are increasinglybeing used to study sensor webs and to test new applications andprotocols in this evolving research field.There is always anoverriding concern when using simulation that the results maynot reflect accurate behavior. It is therefore essential to know thestrengths and weaknesses of these simulators. This paperprovides a comprehensive survey and comparisons of variouspopular sensor network simulators with a view to helpresearchers choose the best simulator available for a particularapplication environment. It also provides a detailed comparisondescribing the pros and cons of each simulator
