Mobi-sim: A simulation environment for mobile wireless sensors network

Developed programs can be tested inside simulator or executed directly on hardware. Simulation tools for wireless sensors network are increasingly being used to study sensors and to test new applications and protocols in this evolving research field. This paper provides a comparison of various popular sensor network simulators and details the pros and cons of each simulator. We present then a simulation system: Mobi-sim (Mobile Simulator), suitable for mobile wireless sensors network application development for both stationary and mobile nodes (including mobile nodes and few fix nodes).
