Multilevel Sensor Node Simulation within a TLM-like Network Simulation Framework

Simulating Wireless Sensor Networks is a complex task, since the interplay of node level and network level with respect to power consumption requires a holistic modeling and simulation approach. Regarding the sensor nodes, there are many modeling approaches and levels available, but a corresponding network level approach might not exist. In this paper, we present the integration of a multilevel simulator for the node level into a TLM-based network simulation approach. 1
