Abstract :
During the past decade research in Wireless Sensor Networks has drawn heavy interest. For researchers to verify their research a testbed is an extremely valuable tool. This paper presents a survey documenting a selection of the best testbeds that have been developed for WSN evaluation. Laboratory testbeds and real world deployments are discussed and future work to be done on WSN testbeds is proposed.
