OBJECTIVE
Power consumption is of utmost concern in sensor networks. Researchers have several ways of measuring the power consumption of a complete sensor network, but they are typically either impractical or inaccurate.

To meet the need for practical and scalable measurement of power consumption of sensor networks, we have developed a cycle-accurate Click to edit COOJA/MSPsim, simulator, called Master subtitle style that enables live power estimation of systems running on MSP430 processors.

CONTIKI
Contiki is a small, open source, highly portable multitasking computer operating system developed for use on a number of memory-constrained networked systems ranging from 8-bit computers to embedded systems on microcontrollers, including sensor network motes.

 The COOJA Simulator

CoOJa Cooya = Look at me! (Jamaican broken english)

COOJA is a flexible Java-based simulator initially designed for

simulating networks of sensors running the Contiki operating system.

COOJA simulates networks of sensor nodes where each node can be of a different type; differing not only in on-board software, but also in the simulated hardware.

COOJA can execute programs by running the program code as compiled native code directly on the CPU, or by running compiled program code in MSPSim, also in Java at the application level. Java-based nodes simulates fast but do not run deployable code but useful for the development of distributed algorithms. Emulating nodes allows control and retrieval of more fine-grained execution details compared to other two nodes. Native codes can simulate deployable code. It is more efficient code. Combining the different levels in the same simulation can give both an efficient simulation as well as fine-grained execution details on selected nodes.

Start Cooja
First Start Instant Contiki : To start Cooja, double-click on the "Run Cooja" icon to the right on the screen. This will bring up a terminal window with some text scrolling by. The Cooja Java code may need to be compiled, which may take a few seconds. After a few seconds the Cooja window appears. Maximize the window by double-clicking on the title bar.

Run a Hello, World Program We begin with the simple Hello, World program. The is a small network of two nodes. The nodes only print out a Hello, World message and does nothing more.

CONCLUSION
Thus here from this this demonstration it shows the ease of use and the power measurement accuracy of coojasim. The simulator clearly predicts the time taken and power consumption to send a simple message from node A to node B.

In this same way, for our project also. The demo setup consists of a small sensor network and a laptop.

Beside gathering software-based power measurements from the motes, the laptop runs coojasim to simulate the same network.

Click to edit Master subtitle style We visualize the power consumption of both the simulated and the real sensor network, and show that the simulator produces matching results .
