Abstract

Different techniques for measuring packet delivery ratio, packet latency and power usage on single hop radio links have been developed. These techniques were tested with Zolertia Z1 motes running Contiki by measuring the performances of different radio duty cycling protocols using a range of radio wake-up rates and various levels of global radio traffic. Advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques are discussed and the feasibility of enhancing them for multihop networks is explored.
