Abstract :
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consistsing of spatially distributed autonomous device using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants at different locations. A complete model of a sensor network is needed to improve upon its efficiency and design.Using a modeling and simulation tool called Visualsense models of these in this paper will discuss the implementation and creation of a sensor node in Visualsense.In the Visualsense analyses of a sensor network, several factors affecting a network are relized such as battery life and signal range of the device. Modeling of wireless sensor networks requires sophisticated modeling of communication channels, sensor channels, adhoc networking protocols, localization strategies, media access control protocols, energy consumption in sensor nodes, etc. this modeling framework is designed to support a component-based construction of such models. It is intended to enable the research community to share models of disjoint aspects of the sensor nets problem and to build models that include sophisticated elements from several aspects.
