"The two biggest challenge facing a Internet of Things(IoT) designer are low power and reduced network traffic. Internet of Things is present in almost all areas of society including smart cities, connected vehicles, material management, health bands, restaurant service and industrial monitors. To increase the battery life, the designer must explore and select the low power mode offered from the sensor to the RF transceiver, RTOS and software task scheduling for Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling. Intelligent data handling must be applied to reduce the size and the frequency of requests to the data cloud.

Both of these requirements can only be architected with well-defined discrete-event simulation and analysis. VisualSim IoT Modeling and Simulation Platform provides agent based system design platform to predict performance, power and behavior of a complete IoT platform with hundreds or thousands of connected devices. Early design explorations with VisualSim IoT Modeling technology helps the designer to make better architectural decisions based on quantitative results, instead of guess work.

In this model user can view the application of system modeling to designing the sensor processing, hub management, and topology selection. This model shows the process of defining the SoC and the network in model, assign use cases and workloads, and interpret the reports.

Key Takeways:
Use system simulation to determine the latency and power consumed of a network of IoT devices. Architect the hardware and software to meet end-to-end application timing deadline from IoT to the data center. Selection of components based on simulation results. Network bandwidth allocation and workload definitions.
