Abstract
Wireless sensors have become fairly ubiquitous, having a wide variety of applications. Commonly, sensors are deployed as solitary devices, and usually in a fixed position. The ability to network several wireless sensors together as one large network, especially with moving nodes, provides solutions to data gathering that might otherwise be impossible. These additions add complexity, however, and development times and costs can be significantly higher than with stand-alone static nodes. The ability to simulate combinations of hardware, software, and networking algorithms is useful for system planning and development. Tools exist to simulate some aspects of these dynamic wireless sensor networks, but for certain types of data collection, no single simulation exists to model all needed components. Data collection with high altitude balloons is one such example. This simulation attempts to provide a framework for analysis and testing of combinations of components of a simulated dynamic wireless sensor network for this purpose.
