(WSN) protocols steadily increases, the evaluation methods have largely remained the same. Although experimentally-supported research is gaining popularity, protocol evalua-tion and comparison remains difficult due to a lack of performance analysis methodologies. This work introduces a wireless-benchmarking workflow that is designed to sup-port experimentally-driven analysis of WSN protocols. This methodology and the accompanying benchmark concepts are designed to increase the value of experimental performance evaluation compared to the current ad-hoc approaches applied by many researchers. Finally, we present a proof of concept implementation used to perform experiments based on the proposed workflow. Keywords-Wireless Sensor Networks; benchmarking; perfor-mance; evaluation;
