Hi, I am doing a research project about UAV assisted VANETs, and I need to simulate a computational offloading algorithm in this type of network, so could you guide me to a network simulator that fits best to my work ?
Noha A. Mostafa, Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi, Khalid Al-Hussaini Thank you for your answers, I really appreciate it. From the articles you mentioned, most of the works use NS3 as a network simulator combined with SUMO as a node mobility generator. For that, I decided to use NS3 and SUMO in my simulation.
Kanagaraj Krishnamoorthy I only used vehicular mobility from SUMO for the VANET part, cause in my project the UAVs are assumed to be stationary and their small movements in the air are neglected.
You can refer to Article Routing Protocols for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Aided Vehicula...
The comparisons among the proposed papers are given in-terms of the simulator they have used. My suggestion is to go for INET and VEINS. In INET you will find more more mobility model to characterize UAV's mobility.
some researchers used NS2 or NS3 for the FANET Domain. Also, it is Possible to use NS3 combine with SUMO. however, it must be related to the real application with minimum Assumption.
You could consider NetSim/MATLAB combination and see these examples https://tetcos.com/pdf/v12.1/UAV-Simulation-MATLAB-Interfacing_v12.2.pdf, and https://support.tetcos.com/support/solutions/articles/14000121929-netsim-matlab-interfacing-for-uav-drone-flying-adhoc-network-simulations
