Abstract

A Graphical SystemC-based Wireless Sensor Network environment is presented. It allows system-level simulations with graphical inputs and outputs to easily simulate such distributed systems. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is modeled; it is then possible to easily simulate scenarios at high level, taking many hardware and software low level parameters into account. It also enables design space exploration for system level designers.
