Wireless Sensor Networks Dataset (TSCH a Compromise Between Reliability, Power Consumption, and Latency)

Performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) has been shown to be mostly predictable in typical real-world operating conditions. This is especially true for performance indicators like reliability, power consumption, and latency. This article provides and describes a database (i.e., a set of data acquired with real devices deployed in a real environment) about measurements on OpenMote B devices, implementing the 6TiSCH protocol, made in different experimental configurations. A post-analysis Python script for calculating the above performance indicators from values stored in the database is additional provided. The results obtained by applying the script to the included database were published in [1], which contains more details than those reported in this short presentation of the dataset. Data and software are useful for two main reasons: on the one hand the dataset can be further processed to obtain new performance indices, so as to support, e.g., new ideas about possible protocol modifications; on the other hand, they constitute a simple yet effective example of measurement technique (based on the ping tool and on the accompanying script), which can be customized at will and reused to analyze the performance of other real TSCH installations.

基于IEEE 802.15.4和时隙跳频（TSCH）的无线传感器网络（WSN）性能在典型的实际运行条件下已被证明具有高度的可预测性。这在诸如可靠性、功耗和延迟等性能指标方面尤为显著。本文提供并描述了一个数据库（即一组在真实环境中部署真实设备所获取的数据集），其中包含了针对实现6TiSCH协议的OpenMote B设备的测量数据，这些数据是在不同的实验配置下进行的。此外，还提供了一个用于从数据库中存储的值计算上述性能指标的Python后分析脚本。将脚本应用于所包含数据库的结果已在[1]中发表，其中包含比本数据集简短介绍中报告的更多细节。数据和软件之所以有用，主要有两个原因：一方面，数据集可以进一步处理以获得新的性能指标，从而支持，例如，关于可能协议修改的新观点；另一方面，它们构成了一个简单而有效的测量技术示例（基于ping工具和相应的脚本），可以根据需要定制并重复使用，以分析其他真实TSCH安装的性能。
