Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Simulators
Goran Dimi · 2009
This paper is inspired by the lack of detailed wireless sensor network (WSN) simulator surveys. We examine four WSN simulators: ns-2, Castalia (OMNeT++ based), TOSSIM, and COOJA/MSPSim, and define a set of criteria to evaluate and compare the simulators. We provide short descriptions of simulators and tabular comparison based on the criteria. Since none of the simulators under survey is a universal solution, rough guidelines on which simulator to use in particular situation are given.
