CEG5103/EE5023 Assignment
Simulation of a Wireless Network using NetSim
Introduction
NetSim is an easy-to-use network simulator that enables a number of different network types, protocols and technologies to be studied. The network topology and the behavior of different layers in a networked system ranging from application, transport, network, data link and physical layers can be easily configured. In this assignment, we will use NetSim to simulate a wireless network scenario and study the effect of varying the topology and/or configuration parameters in the model.
A NetSim simulation generates results such as throughput plots, packet statistics, energy consumption, and a detailed packet trace which can be analysed in Excel using pivot tables. The network events in the simulation can also be viewed as an animation. Refer to the NetSim documentation and examples for more information.
