Abstract :
This paper presents a complete and comprehensive simulation of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), including an Electronic System Level (ESL) model of the nodes, a detailed network and radio propagation model and a model of the sensors interaction with the environment, based exclusively in SystemC and its extensions for Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) and Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) design, with no need of co-simulation. The simulator has been validated by using it to design a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) consisting of an energy management network and its application for controlling energy demand, in order to balance it and adjust it to the energy supply available from renewable energy sources.
