【 摘 要 】

The EU-FP7 project SPARTACUS, currently in progress, sees the international cooperation of several partners toward the design and implementation of a satellite based asset tracking for supporting emergency management in crisis operations. Due to the emergency environment, one has to rely on a low power consumption wireless communication. Therefore, the communication hardware and software must be designed to match requirements which can only be foreseen at the level of more or less likely scenarios. The latter aspect suggests a deep use of a simulator (instead of a real network of sensors) to cover extreme situations. The former power consumption remark suggests the use of a minimal computer (Raspberry Pi) as data collector. In this paper, the results of a broad simulation campaign are reported in order to investigate the accuracy of the received data and the global power consumption for each of the considered scenarios.
