I would like to study the the handoff mechanism of the IEEE 802.11 wireless network. I need recommendation, which simulator to use other than OPNET Modeler.
I think OMNet++ is the best choice.
- OMNeT++ is a C++ based discrete event simulator for modeling communication networks, multiprocessors and other distributed or parallel systems.
- OMNeT++ attempts to fill the gap between open-source, research-oriented simulation software such as NS-2 and expensive commercial alternatives like OPNET.
Advantages of OMNET++:
- Well structured.
- Highly modular.
- Not limited to network protocol simulation.
- Source code is publicly available.
- Simulation model for internet, IPV6, mobility is also available.

OMNET++ is definitely good simulator ,But still i would recommend NS because of the available resources.

Dear sir
my recommendation is OMNET++. it's a good choice for researching wireless connectivity
