I am working on VANETs and want to interface SUMO to NetSim. SUMO must simulate the road and traffic conditions while NetSIm must simulate the network communication. Does any one know how to interface ?
I do not know NetSim simulator, but I have a long experience in simulating VANETs. First of all, if you only need realistic vehicular mobility and you do not want to analyze the effect of V2X on the vehicles' mobility, you do not need to integrate SUMO with NetSim. In that case, you only need to generate mobility traces with SUMO, and then use them as inputs in NetSim (or any other network simulator).
If you want that the wireless messages exchanged by vehicles influence their mobility (e.g. traffic re-routing once a traffic jam has been detected through V2X), then you need to integrate both simulators. SUMO has an interface for that called TraCI. You can find more details at http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI
You could also use other simulators that already integrate SUMO, such as iTETRIS (see the reference attached to this answer), or VEINS.
