I am using NetSim and want to simulate sleep mode for IoT sensors, including setting individual power levels and checking how it affects energy use. The goal is to understand the trade-offs between performance and energy savings when sensors alternate between active and sleep states. Any tips for doing this in NetSim or even ns-3 would be super helpful.
Look through examples within NetSim that demonstrate energy consumption analysis in various scenarios. These examples show how energy consumption is influenced by factors like network size, packet size etc.
Then define your scenario along with the properties of your IoT sensors in NetSim. This includes setting parameters like transmission power, reception power, idle power, and sleep power.
NetSim allows you to configure sleep modes for devices using super frame order and beacon order. This determines duration of the sleep period and the conditions under which a device enters sleep mode.
Enable NetSim's Energy Log File: This file records detailed energy consumption data including current time, mode switch time, mode, device name, device ID, voltage, mode current, initial energy, remaining energy, and energy consumed in each mode (transmit, receive, idle, and sleep). Enabling this log provides a granular view of energy usage.
Run simulations with different settings - number of devices, traffic loads, power settings, sleep/week parameters etc. - and collect metrics related to throughput and latency. Compare to analyze trade-off between energy savings and performance.
