Simulation and Visualization of Wireless Sensor Networks Based on NS2

Abstract

This paper analyzed wireless sensor network simulation technology. We discussed the principles of wireless sensor network simulation based on NS2 and constructed a visual simulation model for wireless sensor networks. By adding NS2 protocol and setting the sensor nodes and some simple parameters, the system presented the running process and the performance of the network in the form of animation and graphics. The results show that this method simplifies the process of simulation of wireless sensor networks, and improves the efficiency of wireless sensor networks research and development, which provides support for the development of application-oriented networking of wireless sensor networks.
