applications. TOSSIM provides the communication of the applications running on a personal
computer with simulation over TCP/IP [26].
3.3.4.2 Protocol Implementations
TOSSIM simulates TinyOS’s networking stack, which is the most complex system of TinyOS. It
is composed of 12 components. A networking stack uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)
protocol and single-error- correction/double-error-detection data encoding with a full-packet
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). One of the most interesting features of TOSSIM is the bit-level
simulation of the network stack. Understandi ...
