Tools to Generate Spatially Correlated Sensor Network Data

• generateLargeTraceFromSmall : will create large synthetic traces having the same correlation structure as the input real data trace. It takes the real data trace and the dimensions of the output synthetic trace as its input. It also requires the user to specify the data dependence pattern (See the related publications for more information). Data collected from a testbed having a few sensor nodes is not sufficient to evaluate protocols. The tool can generate a large trace having similar correlation properties as the real trace, and hence, help researchers to evaluate protocols with real data.
• generateSyntheticTraces : will create large synthetic traces representing a wide range of conditions by tweaking the model parameters. It takes the model parameters as its input in addition to the dimensions of the synthetic trace and the data dependence pattern.
