MATLAB Code Implementation for Wireless Network Simulation

This article introduces a sophisticated wireless network simulation tool developed using MATLAB. The program implements a modular architecture that simulates various network layers including physical, MAC, and network layers through object-oriented programming approaches. Key algorithmic implementations include path loss modeling using Friis transmission equation, CSMA/CA protocol simulation for medium access control, and packet routing algorithms. Users can customize simulation parameters through structured configuration files and modify core functions such as channel models and traffic generators. The simulation framework employs event-driven scheduling with discrete-event simulation techniques to ensure temporal accuracy. Through extensive validation testing against theoretical models and experimental data, the program demonstrates reliable performance in replicating wireless network behaviors. This tool enables researchers to conduct parameter sweeps, protocol comparisons, and performance analysis through its integrated visualization and data logging capabilities.
