ABSTRACT
In this paper, we survey network simulators and/or emulators with support for wireless networks. We selected six tools, OMNeT++/INET, ns-3, Packet Tracer, Mininet-WiFi, CORE and Komondor, and further investigate them in regards to their potential use in higher education. These simulators/emulators are readily available and have support for wireless networks in one form or another. The goal of the paper is to help instructors in choosing adequate software to assist online teaching of courses related to wireless networks, including laboratories, using virtual devices, with a minimum investment.
