I want to create WSN and want to do simulation in that network which toolbox I have to prefer?

I want to create wireless sensor network in the form of node nodes. And measure WSN parameter like Signal to Noise Ratio, Throughput, Bit error Ratio. For this which toolbox should i used?

Hi @Vicky pandhare,

Here is a list of toolboxes and functions that are useful for measuring various Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) parameters:

1. Signal to Noise Ratio Analysis: Use the Signal Processing Toolbox for “snr” function for signal-to-noise ratio calculations.
2. BER Evaluation: The Communications Toolbox also supports bit error rate analysis using functions such as “biterr”, “berawgn”, and “berfading”.
3. Throughput Measurement: The WLAN Toolbox is suitable for throughput analysis, offering functions like “wlanMACFrame” and MAC layer performance evaluation tools.
4. Network Topology Simulation: Use Base MATLAB features such as array operations, “pdist2” for pairwise distances, and “scatter” for visualization to create and analyze node topologies.
5. Channel Modelling: The Communications Toolbox includes functions like “rayleighchan”, “ricianchan”, and “fspl” for simulating various wireless communication channels.

You can refer to the following documentation pages for more information:

• “snr”: https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/snr.html
• “berawgn”: https://www.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/berawgn.html
• “wlanMACFrame”: https://www.mathworks.com/help/wlan/ref/wlanmacframe.html

Hope you find this useful
