Abstract :
Several simulation tools are used to evaluate network performance including OMNeT++. In this paper, a case of topology control (TC) in WSNs is simulated by considering its interaction with MAC layer and routing based on the SensorSimulator framework. Some ways to improve the simulation efficiency are described. Finally, the simulation results are given.
