Verification and validation of wireless sensor network energy consumption in internet of things

Abstract

In this paper several methods of verification and validation process (V&V) of simulation models are discussed. In general, different set of techniques used for verification and validation vary from statistic to dynamic one. Theoretical methods presented in this paper are applicable in a real communication networks. V&V of simulation models have been mostly studied in the context of defense applications. In this paper, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Lilliefors test as non-parametric statistical tests are applied to the novel application layer communication protocol developed for wireless sensor networks for intruder tracking application. Protocol is tested on the newly established testbed at the Future Internet — Internet of Things Laboratory (FiT IoT-Lab) in Grenoble, France. The study demonstrated practical application of certain V&V methods.
