Hi

My Research field is MAC protocols for Wireless sensor network. you have a lot of choice for implementing a MAC protocols . Most of the researchers use ns-2 or Omnet for simulation a wireless sensor network specially MAC protocols.

In addition, I recommend you a new simulator which is based on Omnet. it's Castalia.

Please refer to this link http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Adib_Rastegarnia/blog/8432_What_is_Castalia

Thanks Adib,

I will see. I am making some wake up hardware for wireless sensor nodes.

so, i have to compare my model with MAC protocols.

In Omnet, Can i get some MAC protocols or i have to write the codes for mac protocols (like S-MAC, B-MAC, O-MAC) then I could be able to compare with my hardware.

Some of the MAC protocols have been implemented in Omnet previously ( such as SMAC and TMAC ) . But you should implement your protocol to compare it with other protocols in different parameters such as power consumption, delay and etc.

Dear Prashant,

You are not getting my point.

I have used qualnet. But in qualnet, all MAC protocols are not available.

we have to write codes for MAC protocols then we can compare.

But i don't want to code for all MAC protocols.

Hi Chandra,

Did you simulate any MAC protocol in Omnet for comparison?

Hi Adib,

Please do you have the SMAC, TMAC protocol simulation files?

check on omnet++ 4.6 + inet2.99.
