能量收集（EH）技术的最新进展现在允许无线传感器网络（wsn）通过清除其环境中可用的能量来延长其使用寿命。虽然仿真是设计和评估无线传感器网络协议最广泛使用的方法，但现有的网络模拟器并不适合eh -无线传感器网络的仿真，大多数网络模拟器只提供简单的线性电池模型。因此，需要一种适合EH-WSN仿真和寿命预测的框架。我们提出了一个基于WSNet和Matlab的联合仿真框架——havwsnet，它为EH-WSN的网络协议和生命周期的仿真提供了足够的工具。事实上，该框架允许模拟多节点网络场景，同时包括每个节点的能量收集、管理子系统及其随时间变化的环境参数的详细描述。基于温度监测应用程序的仿真案例研究表明，HarvWSNet能够在最小限度地减少仿真时间的同时预测网络寿命。
Recent advances in energy harvesting (EH) technologies now allow wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to extend their lifetime by scavenging the energy available in their environment. While simulation is the most widely used method to design and evaluate network protocols for WSNs, existing network simulators are not adapted to the simulation of EH-WSNs and most of them provide only a simple linear battery model. Therefore, there is a need for a framework suited to EH-WSN simulation and to lifetime prediction. We propose a co-simulation framework, HarvWSNet, based on WSNet and Matlab, that provides adequate tools for the simulation of the network protocols and the lifetime of EH-WSN. Indeed, the framework allows for the simulation of multi-node network scenarios while including a detailed description of each node's energy harvesting, management subsystem and its time-varying environmental parameters. A simulation case study based on a temperature monitoring application demonstrates HarvWSNet's ability to predict network lifetime while minimally penalizing simulation time.
