ARIS MashZone KPI visualisation of simulated routing protocol operations for smart dust environments

Recent history showed that world needs more mobility, smaller mobile devices, and if possible mobile devices which have multiple sensors. Wireless ad-hoc sensor network technology in 1997 by K. Pister called Smart Dust is on implementation of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and wireless sensor network (WSN) which might be a solution for future applications. Smart Dust is a network which contains tiny sensor nodes called motes which are able to, use sensors to collects data, to communicate with each other and transfer collected data. While Smart Dust components have relatively high price (WSN classroom Kit starts at 6000 $) commercially available, they are still not in wide usage as education assets at universities because of their price, and due to technology changes. In this paper are presented simulated operation performances of three wireless ad-hoc routing protocols: AODV, DSDV, and OLSR (using NS-3 simulator) which can be used for Smart Dust applications. We used previous research results to recreate similar results of simulated AODV, DSDV, and OLSR and we their Key Performance Indicators (KPI) them with Aris MashZone. Aris MashZone allows easy KPI interpretation and represents them in Dash board as soon as data become available by quick filter adjustments.
