D-Cube: A Low-Power Wireless Networking Benchmark

D-Cube is a full-fledged benchmarking infrastructure that provides a consistent way to evaluate the performance of low-power wireless systems.

Hosted at Graz University of Technology, D-Cube supports the automated testing of the reliability, timeliness, and energy consumption of low-power wireless communication protocols in a variety of settings. The primary audience of D-Cube are academic researchers and industry practitioners creating low-power wireless networking solutions that would like to quantitatively assess and compare their performance with that of other systems addressing the same class of applications.

To this end, D-Cube allows developers to test and optimize their solutions for one or more benchmarking suites (i.e., for specific application scenarios and hardware platforms) and to provide a binary that is perpetually tested in a best-effort fashion to accurately profile its performance. Such quantitative performance measurements are publicly available and serve as a reference for academics and companies alike.

D-Cube currently supports two popular hardware platforms: the TelosB (Tmote Sky) mote and the Nordic Semiconductors nRF52840. Hence, D-Cube enables the benchmarking of solutions based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth Low Energy technology. With more than 50 nodes and the ability to generate harsh RF conditions, D-Cube is well-suited for testing the performance of mesh networking and multi-hop solutions in the presence of radio interference.
