Wireless Sensor Network Simulation for Room Temperature Monitoring Based on Python
Keywords:
Wireless Sensor Network, Python, Temperature Monitoring, Delay, Packet Loss, Throughput.Abstract
This study examines the design and simulation process of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that is used to monitor room temperature in real time using the Python programming language as the main tool. The system is built to observe temperature changes at several points in a room through three sensor nodes that are interconnected and integrated with a central server or sink node. Each node acts as a data transmitter, where each sensor detects the surrounding temperature and then sends the measurement results along with delay information to the control center for further analysis. Simulation test results show that the system is capable of operating with a fairly high level of reliability. The average delay value was recorded at around 0.25 seconds, with a packet loss rate ranging from 5 to 10%, and an average throughput of 0.85 packets per second. These results indicate that the system has good Quality of Service (QoS) performance in terms of connection stability and data transmission speed between nodes. Based on the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that the use of Python as a means of simulating wireless sensor networks is proven to be efficient and easy to implement for IoT-based temperature monitoring applications. This system can serve as a foundation for further research development towards practical application using physical sensors, particularly in small to medium-scale environmental monitoring systems that require high efficiency and reliability.
