  The performance of wake-up radios must be clearly measured and understood
while designing and developing robust, dependable, and affordable systems,
considering both benefits and shortcomings. State-of-the-art WURs display
significant diversity in their architecture, processing capability, energy
consumption, and receiver sensitivity. Standard methodologies for benchmarking
are crucial for quantitatively evaluating the performance of this emerging
technology, however, currently, no accepted standard for such quantitative
measurement exists. Further, there is no consensus on what objective evaluation
procedures and metrics should be used to understand the performance of whole
systems exploiting this technology. This lack of standardization has prevented
researchers from comparing results and leveraging previous work that could
otherwise avoid duplication and speed up the validation process. This paper
leads toward an evaluation framework, a benchmark, to enable accurate and
repeatable profiling of WUR-based systems, leading to more consistent and
therefore comparable evaluations for current and future systems.
