Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a developing area of research. In this development of sensor network applications, monitoring data volume, monitoring the well-being of the wireless sensor node, data manipulation and representation demonstrates a range of challenges and has become a critical component of sensor networks. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which comprise of spatially distributed self-configurable sensors, impeccably meet the prerequisite. Since running real experiments is expensive and tedious, recreation is basic to contemplate WSNs, being the normal method to test new applications and conventions in the field, it requires a reasonable model dependent on strong assumptions and a suitable framework to ease usage. Moreover, recreation results depend on the specific situation under investigation (environment), equipment and physical layer, which are not typically exact enough to catch the real behavior of a WSN, accordingly, risking the validity of results. In any case, because of the enormous number of hubs that need to be replicated depending on the application, identified models must be evaluated for scalability and execution problems. The goal of this study is to present a definite review of various simulator tools for WSNs which will help further research in the field.
