Introduction to WSN
Large number of Communication Nodes. WSN is deployed in Hazardous & inaccessible places. Various applications (almost everywhere) eg: Monitoring and Inspecting the eg: environment.

Simulation in WSN
Simulation programs usually have a long debugging periods because of large number of nodes. WSN uses hierarchical structure, so we need a large number of modules to construct models, the module relations must defined in hierarchical to built reusable components. WSN needs to cooperate with other software to achieve the target.

OMNET++
OMNeT++ OMNeT++ is an object-oriented modular discrete event objectnetwork simulator. It can be used for: Traffic modeling & Protocol modeling. Modeling queuing networks. Modeling multiprocessors and other distributed hardware systems. Validating hardware architectures. Evaluating performance aspects of complex software systems.

OMNET++ Features(1)
Hierarchically nested modules. Modules are instances of module types. Modules communicate with messages. through channels. Flexible module parameters. Topology description language (NED).

OMNET++ Features(2)
It is compatible with: DOS, UNIX, WINDOWS. Several graphical interfaces allows debugging and variables inspection. Modules, gates and links can be created statically dynamically. Offers support for parallel execution (PDES).

Contd..
Simple Modules. Messages can be sent either via output gates, or directly to another module. Compound module consists of simple modules. Nodes in WSN is compound modules. These structures are defined by NED language which can be editted by both text and graphical user interface(GUI).

Simulation Software Comparison

Comparison
Available Protocols and Models: OPNET is so expensive and NS2s protocol model is excessively unitary, so OMNET++ has the big advantage in the model library and the available model aspects. Network Topology & Hierarchical Models: NS2 does not allow hierarchical model . OPNET models always use fixed topology .OMNET++s NED and its graphical editor allow customize topology and parameterized topologies.

Debugging and Tracing: OPNET did not have a graphical runtime environment. NS2 is very slow in WSN simulation which limits its use. Source Opening: OPNET only provides the sources of the protocol models, OMNET++ and NS2 is fully open-sourced. openNOTE: NOTE: Simulation software in WSN, NS2s performance is not very good, OPNET has good performance (like OMNET++), but it is too expensive

Conclusion:
OMNET++ is an excellent WSN simulation software, its functions follows requirements of WSN simulation. Compare with NS2, it reflects that OMNET++ have better performance than NS2, also have some advantages when comparing with OPNET which is an expensive commercial software.
