Due to stringent energy constraint and demand for performance requirement, a
generic architecture like TCP/IP or Internet is not feasible with sensors used
across various applications. Instead, application specific design methodology is
the de facto consensus accepted among Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
community. While it wins WSN performance gains for individual applications,
the methodology sacrifices all plausible attributes a generic architecture can
contribute. Without a unified reference model as comparing foundation, the
profound problem in true protocols contribution evaluation and comparison
remains challenging. Moreover, the stochastic and statistical nature of WSNs
makes realistic performance analysis fairly complex. In multi criteria QoS
context, this problem is further magnified by big design space with not yet fully
understood parameters and the competing relationship between multi objective
performance metrics. This work introduces a generic wireless-benchmarking
methodology not only qualitatively evaluation from high level abstraction,
concerning only profound pros and cons from a general viewpoint of tradeoffs
between generality, performance and cost, but also a set of practical workflows
that are designed to support quantitative evaluation and analysis of WSN
protocols for application-specific objectives. This methodology and the
accompanying new benchmark concepts, such as performance efficiency,
development efficiency and performance stability, are designed to gain new
insight of the dynamic behavior of WSN protocols in a systematical way
compared to the current ad-hoc evaluation approaches applied by most of the
community.
