These variations can cause a WVSN to exhibit prolonged or periodic transitional or bursty transmission performance. In this paper, we present our work on how to generate noise traces that simulate real-world transitional and bursty network behavior in TOSSIM. We develop a toolset called BurstyGen for TOSSIM which can facilitate WVSN protocol designers and application developers to better understand WVSN performance under these conditions. BurstyGen allows users to model both short time-scale and long time-scale variations in WVSN noise environments for the simulation and testing of WVSN system algorithms and protocols.enPublisher Policywireless networkslink transitionalburstinessConference proceedings
