A large number of low-power wireless communication protocols has been proposed in the last decade by both academia and industry an attempt to deliver information increasingly reliable, timely, energy-efficient manner. However, their level dependability rarely benchmarked under same settings environmental conditions. In this paper we present execution results a competition aimed evaluate state-of-the-art settings, push performance limit. We define scenario emulating operation sensor network industrial environments rich with radio interference compare end-to-end systems based on protocol strategies ranging from adaptive time-slotted frequency-hopping multi-modal routing flooding. To increase fairness realism, allow developers competing interact benchmarking infrastructure optimize parameters for at hand. achieve designing, implementing, employing D-Cube, low-cost tool that allows accurately measure key metrics such as delay, reliability, power consumption, well graphically visualize evolution real-time. This interaction competitiveness event have incited limit reach impressive results.
