本文对支持无线网络的网络模拟器进行了综述。它的目的是找到一个无线网络仿真器，这将有助于研究人员开发和分析仿真模型，在一个可靠的和不太复杂的方式。因此，本文介绍了目前流行的四种网络仿真器，即J-Sim、OMNeT++、ns-2和OPNET Modeler，并介绍了它们的功能、内部结构、开发环境、对无线网络仿真的支持、文档和图形用户界面。它描述了模拟器的优点和缺点，并根据一些论文和调查对它们进行了比较。最后，本文提出了两个模拟器，这似乎更符合研究人员在无线网络研究的需求。
This paper contains a survey about network simulators supporting wireless networks. It aims to find a wireless network simulator which would help researchers develop and analyze simulation models in a reliable and not-too-complex way. So, it describes four popular network simulators, i.e. J-Sim, OMNeT++, ns-2 and OPNET Modeler, and includes information about each one’s abilities, internal structure, development environment, support for wireless network simulation, documentation and graphical user interface. It depicts strengths and weaknesses of the simulators and gives several comparisons of them based on a number of papers and surveys. Finally, the paper concludes by presenting two simulators which seem to comply more with the needs of researchers studying on wireless networks.
