TWECIS: A testbed for wireless energy constrained industrial sensor actuator networks

HMP: A Hybrid Monitoring Platform for Wireless Sensor Networks Evaluation

“…Minerva [33], FlockLab [34] and TWECIS [35] are examples of Testbeds for WSN. A Testbed does not only monitor the operation of the nodes of a WSN, but it also allows the modification of the configuration in the nodes, and even request them information about their state.…”

“…Many monitor nodes with TCP/IP capability -as Pimoto PC Gateway, sniffers of NSSN [28], components of Minerva [33] or FlockLab [34]-use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) for synchronizing. To achieve higher precision, SNDS [27] uses PTP (Precision Time Synchronization Protocol ) and TWECIS uses [35] RTE (Real Time Ethernet); however, both mechanism require additional or special hardware.…”

GTSO: Global Trace Synchronization and Ordering Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Network Monitoring Platforms

“…FlockLab can use others interfaces different of used by Minerva. In [ 12 ], an industrial oriented testbed—TWECIS—is presented. It combines features as tracing and actuation, debugging possibility, accurate synchronized power measurements; in terms of timing synchronization.…”

“…Components of TWECIS [ 12 ] exploit their backbone connection and use Real Time Ethernet (RTE) for synchronizing the measurements. The use of RTE is a very good alternative to get high accuracy synchronization, but involves additional or special hardware, which may be expensive.…”

“…Many DMP for WSN—WSN-DMP—have been proposed [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. These proposals may be classified according to several criteria.…”
