I have to simulate with MATLAB and Python, but are inefficient to simulate the mobility of networks.
You can use the Omnet++ simulator with the MiXiM framework. Since the version 4 the omnet++ simulator is easy to use and it's easy to get statistics from data.
Thank you Damian Rusinek and Angelo Trotta, i try now with NS2 its very good and with last version we can simulate wireless networks. see this article http://www.ijarcce.com/upload/june/3-Network%20Simulation%20Tools%20Survey.pdf
In my thinking, the NS2 is the best simulator to simulate the Wireless Sensor Network. As you mentioned you use the MATLAB and it will be more easy to simulate Wireless Sensor Nodes with NS2 as you're good in Coding.
WSNet is dedicated to wireless sensor networks (http://wsnet.gforge.inria.fr/) and has a faster learning curve than NS-2.
Opnet is a good simulator but the learning curve is long and it is expensive.
You can try Cooja http://www.contiki-os.org/start.html#start-cooja
or some simulation models based on the OMNeT++ platform:

OMNet++ and NS2 are the best choices for event-driven WSNs' applications. But, based on my experience, OMNet++ has a better GUI. In the case of data-centric applications, you are free to use an arbitrary programming environment.
Greetings to all friends
I want to simulate an ad hoc network
I actually just got 6 or more sensor nodes in a wireless network using RF band switching frequency and the proper working together I'm sure the network.
It would be better if the software GUI programming because it takes time to learn a language that I do not. At least it's free, and you could have a lot of training database
See what software you guys recommend:
and qualnet omnet + + or Matlab?
I have been trying to learn NS2 for few months now but to no avail, or am I missing something? the learning curve seems too steep.
