DESCRIPTION:

------------



FtspDataAnalyzer.m works with data logs collected by FtspDataLogger.java and

calculates the maximum and average timesync error over time.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO RUN OUR TEST SCENARIO:

--------------------------------------------

1. program and start motes as described in ./README.txt

2. start SerialForwarder and FtspDataLogger.java as described in ./README.txt

3. 'current_time.report' file (where current_time is a number) is created in ./

   this file is updated with data in the real time

4. let the experiment run for some time

5. start matlab and enter (assuming your current_time was 1206126224593)

    FTSPDataAnalyzer('1206126224593.report')

    this will plot the mean absolute timesync error, global time, and number of

    synced motes; this can be done while experiment is running

6. Matlab also creates data.out file which contains data in the following format

    #seqNum mean_abs_error global_time num_synced_motes

    mean_abs_error is calculated as mean absolute deviation from the mean (mad)



Simulating multi-hop:

1. define TIMESYNC_DEBUG in the Makefile

2. recompile and upload TestFTSP app to n motes with special NODE_IDs:

     using 'make micaz reinstall.0xAB', nodes 0xAB and 0xCD can communicate

     iff 2D grid coordinates (A,B) and (C,D) are neighbors in a 2D grid

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVALUATION:

--------------------------------------------

 - deployment setup: 11 nodes in a 5x3 grid using simulated multi-hop (4 points

   were vacant as we only used 11 nodes). the max number of hops was 5.

 - parameters: sync period 10sec, polling period 3 sec

 - experiment length: 100 minutes

 - results (1 jiffy is ~30.5 us)

    1.53 jiffy avg error (~50us)

    3.5 jiffy max error (~100us)
