Simulation Wireless Sensor Networks in Castalia

Wide application usage of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) triggers many developments in this area. Properly selecting network simulator plays an important role for developing WSN routing protocol and MAC protocol since its different performance focuses. This paper aims to provide an adequate guidance for simulation in Castalia which is suitable for low power sensor nodes deployed in large-scale wireless sensor networks. Moreover, LEACH is a well-known routing protocol, which is used for demonstration along the basic guidance. Lastly, manipulating data extracted from Castalia Result is documented for wide understanding what Castalia aid in WSN research.
