End-user's Tutorial on using WCPS: Wireless Cyber-Physical Simulator

Normal User Tutorial on the Wireless Cyber-Physical Simulator(WCPS) WCPS is design for, but not limited to, realistic Wireless Structural Control simulations. The layered infrastructure and efficient integration of state-of-the-art control and wireless networking tools, i.e., Simulink and TOSSIM, have made WCPS an ideal choice for general wireless control simulations with Simulink and TOSSIM.

The following tutorial introduces in detail how to configure general MATLAB, TinyOS, and PYTHON environments, as well as the WCPS framework. The tutorial herein is an end-user version specifically for end-users that do not do much development but instead trying to do wireless control simulations with Simulink, TOSSIM and WCPS. An advanced tutorial on in-depth TinyOS development (e.g., routing protoocls, MAC layer development) with WCPS can be found [here].

Software Environment Setup

  • 1. Install TinyOS

WCPS is implemented and tested on MacOS X (snowleopard), Windows XP, and Windows 7. Current release of WCPS is under TinyOS 2.1.1, which can be installed following the three methods. (1) Follow the TinyOS official tutorial on installation of TinyOS for your specific platform: Link (2) Directly download the pre-tested TinyOS 2.1.1 image from here: [under construction Cygwin] [under construction Mac OS X]

  • 2 Install Mac Layer Architecture(MLA)

Follow the instructions here: Install MLA.

  • 3 Install MATLAB and Simulink

If you already have MATLAB MATLAB 7.11.0.584 (2010b) or later version, skip this step. Otherwise, follow the tutorial here: install MATLAB

  • 4 Install Python

If you already have Python 2.7.2 or later version installed, skip this step. Otherwise, follow the manual here: install Python

  • 5 Environment Setup Testing

Building a Wireless Network in TOSSIM

  • 1. Makefile

"Makefile" takes advantage of the fact that it's not necessary to recompile all the project files that has not been changed. To have the "Makefile" for our project, copy the code below into a txt file and save as "Makefile" without any suffix, or simply download it here: [Makefile] 

# target file
COMPONENT=TestNetworkAppC
# dependencies of the target
include $(UPMA_DIR)/Makefile.include
BUILD_EXTRA_DEPS = TestNetworkMsg.py
CFLAGS += -DTOSH_DATA_LENGTH=156
CFLAGS += -I$(TOSDIR)/lib/T2Hack
PFLAGS += -I../../../pure-tdma
CFLAGS += -I$(TOSDIR)/lib/printf
CFLAGS += -DFOOTER_SIZE=0 -DTDMA -DUPMA
#TDMA mac layer
UPMA_MAC = pure-tdma
#mig information for python
TestNetworkMsg.py: TestNetwork.h
	mig python -target=$(PLATFORM) $(CFLAGS) -python-classname=TestNetworkMsg TestNetwork.h TestNetworkMsg -o $@
CLEAN_EXTRA = TestNetworkMsg.py TestNetworkMsg.class TestNetworkMsg.java TestNetworkMsg.pyc
include $(MAKERULES)
migclean:
	rm -rf $(MIGFILES)
  • 2. TestNetwork.h

"TestNetwork.h" defines necessary message structures for the wireless communication. Copy the code below into a txt file and save as "TestNetwork.h", or simply download it here: [TestNetwork.h] 

#ifndef TEST_NETWORK_C_H
#define TEST_NETWORK_C_H
enum {
 AM_TESTNETWORKMSG = 0x05,
 AM_TESTNETWORKMSGG = 0x06,
 SAMPLE_RATE_KEY = 0x1,
 CL_TEST = 0xee,
 TEST_NETWORK_QUEUE_SIZE = 8,
};
#endif
  • 3. TestNetworkAppC.nc

"TestNetworkAppC.nc" connects claimed application interfaces to interfaces that are defined in the hardware librare. Copy the code below into a txt file and save as "TestNetworkAppC.nc", or simply download it here: [TestNetworkAppC.nc] 


/**

 */
#include "TestNetwork.h"

configuration TestNetworkAppC {
}
implementation {
  components TestNetworkC, MainC, ActiveMessageC;
  components new AMSenderC(AM_TESTNETWORKMSG) as Sender;  
  components new AMReceiverC(AM_TESTNETWORKMSG) as Receiver;  
  components new AMReceiverC(AM_TESTNETWORKMSG) as AMReceiver;
  components new TimerMilliC() as InjectionTimer;
  components SerialActiveMessageC as SerialAM;
  
  TestNetworkC.RadioControl -> SerialAM;
  TestNetworkC.SerialReceive -> SerialAM.Receive[AM_TESTNETWORKMSG];
  TestNetworkC.SerialSend -> SerialAM.AMSend[AM_TESTNETWORKMSG];
  
  TestNetworkC.Boot -> MainC;
