Hi, thank you for your answer, I want to verify my algorithm in CH selection in cluster-based routing protocols, I have read in some paper that Castalia is based on OMNET++ and is for simulation of WSNs and unfortunately it just support simple routing protocol. Now ,I want to know my choice is only NS2 or not?
Hi, thanks for your attention. Excuse me, your friends are working on routing protocol of WSN? Because I have read that OMNET is not a good choice for routing protocol, but in the other parts is very convenient to learn compare to NS and is a better choice.
A lot of work has been done in NetSim for various cluster based algorithms (LEACH / LEACH-c/ HEED) etc in NetSim. It is also fairly well recognized for research publication. I have attached some links you cans ee
There are a lot of materials to guide you in learning NS2 as opposed to NS3. But for the sake of publishing your research findings, i recommend you use NS3 since most journals have discontinued accepting findings from NS2 simulations.
