An Interface between MATLAB and OPNET to Allow Simulation of WNCS with MANETs
Christopher Harding, Alison L. Griffiths, Hongnian Yu · 2007
MATLAB is a software simulator which is good for simulating the mathematical modeling and feedback control, while OPNET is a software tool which is good for simulating the network communication behavior. However, currently simulating the communication behavior of a wireless ad hoc network within MATLAB is difficult, where complex queuing models in OPNET are also difficult to create and manipulate. In this paper, we have created an interface between MATLAB and OPNET to allow MATLAB to use its strong mathematical functionality and OPNET to use its ability to manipulate network simulations.
