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 the popular MTM-CM5000-MSP TelosB and nRF52840 platforms (more info), hence allowing to benchmark solutions based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). With more than 50 nodes and the ability to generate harsh RF conditions (more info), D-Cube allows also to test the performance of mesh networking and multi-hop solutions.
