The CEC for this subject will include downloading of different open source simulators like:
1. Omnet++
2. NS2
The goal is to familiarize yourself with the OMNET++/NS2 network simulation environment,
especially when it is used to simulate wireless sensor network.
1. Developing a simple Tic-Toc application using OMNET++/NS2
2. Compare the features of NS2 & Omnet++
3. Try to develop a small project that gives idea about a WSN node properties such as CPU usage,
battery life, sleep time, power consumption.
