I hear that castalia and omnet ++ are also good. Can anyone suggest which would be the easiest to implement scheduling algorithms on and akyildiz papers? Some are also to do with taking the input as the frequency from the unlicensed spectrum.
Thanks. Do you already have some codes for simulating WSN on Omnet++?
Hi mate, which scheduling algorithms are you doing for? I want to do a GTS time slot scheduling algorithms, could you give me more information about your research? Many thanks!
opnet I think is not an open source software. I am a student. so it will become difficult to buy it. @ana: thanks
@Qinyin: am making my own priority algorithm and trying to simulate a WSN .

thanks!
As you know OMNet (http://www.omnetpp.org/) is not a network simulator. It is an environment to build your simulator. Therefore, if you are not familiar with Omnet++ I’m strongly suggesting reading about Omnetpp before starting working on existing projects that have been built using OMNet (such as Castalia). Try to start with “tic toc” tutorial (see OMNet tutorials) or at my blog here (http://omnetgroup.wordpress.com/).
Next, I know two master students working on WSN and both are using Castalia (http://castalia.npc.nicta.com.au/index.php). Castalia is an open-source simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks, it works under UNIX environment and has no graphical interface, but, based on my friends’ opinion the work there is not that difficult.
By the way, there is another project called MiXiM (http://mixim.sourceforge.net/). I think it is also dealing with WSN and you can work on it using Windows. Visit this link for more information.
During my thesis work, I needed to deal with ad hoc nodes so I worked on INET and INETMANET projects (https://github.com/inetmanet/inetmanet).
Thanks Mohammad. I have managed to do most of my job with ns2 itself. though I am unable to find how to detect the speed of the nodes during run time .
If I am not mistaken Qualnett is a paid software. I realise that NS-3 is relatively much more user friendly in comparison to NS-2.
In my opinion OPNET is better. It is not an open source software, but as far as I know, they do offer special prices for universities. However to master OPNET, you should be comfortable in dealing with C++, OPNET API, and state automata theory.
Use Castalia

The site has all resources to start. I am personally using it. My experience says, it's not bad.
