Every day, numerous solutions focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) are developed to address domains such as environmental monitoring, mobility, and industry 4.0. The size of these ecosystems increases their complexity, and several of these domains have problems such as scalability, energy consumption, low-latency edge applications, multiobjective decision making, fog with cloud interaction, among other features and aspects that are not generally considered when designing a wireless network. The choices made during the design of the network influence its configuration, something that reinforces the importance of using a tool for simulating a wireless sensor network (WSN). Therefore, it is essential to model, analyze the degree of complexity of a network project before its implementation, and develop solutions. Based on this context, we presented a general review of some WSN simulators and the assignment of one of these simulators for the development of a network project for IoT sensors in public transport.
