The "Dust Networks SmartMesh Power and Performance Estimator" (https://www.analog.com/en/technical-articles/smartmesh-power-and-performance-estimator.html) is a Excel-based tool which allows you to evaluate the performance of your network, given a set of constraints. |
Download and open the performance estimator.
Note |

You probably have to enable the contents to be able to run the estimator |
Assume that you have
1 manager
20 1-hop motes
20 2-hop motes
each mote sends an 80-byte data packet every 30s
In the "Estimator" tab, enter parameters corresponding to the setup described above. What setting did you use?
number of motes per depth | |
---|---|
requested service | |
reporting interval | |
payload size | |
path stability | |
supply voltage | |
temperature |
Answer 1:
What is the resulting estimated performance of your nodes?
Average current consumption at 1 hop | |
---|---|
Average current consumption at 2 hops | |
max latency at 1 hop | |
max latency at 2 hops |
Answer 2:
Using the "Battery Life" tab, convert the average current consumption figures in the table above into lifetime, for the following batteries:
CR2032 | L-91 AA | TL9530D | |
---|---|---|---|
battery lifetime for 1-hop motes | |||
battery lifetime for 2-hop motes |
Answer 3:
