Introduction
Simulation and Modeling
Simulation Tools
Simulation with Matlab
Telecommunication
Research
Methods
Depends upon time, resources, and
desired level of accuracy
Analytic/mathematical modeling : Quick, less
accurate
Simulation : Medium effort, medium accuracy
Measurement : Typical most effort, most
accurate
Note, above are all typical
but can be reversed in some cases!
The difference between a model and a
simulation is in the form of the output.
Modeling usually deals with numerical
outputs, e.g. with a spreadsheet model you
could use formulae and functions to
calculate the stresses on a bridge.
A simulation might try to physically
represent this by showing a graphic of how
the bridge breaks as a truck passes over it.
A Simulation of a system is the operation of a model,
which is a representation of that system. The reasons of
the need to model and simulate a system are:
The model is amenable to manipulation which would be
impossible, too expensive, or too impractical to perform
on the system which it portrays.
The operation of the model can be studied, and, from
this, properties concerning the behavior of the actual
system can be inferred
10
A computer simulation, a computer
model, or a computational model is a
computer program, or network of computers,
that attempts to simulate an abstract model of
a particular system.
Computer simulations have become a useful
part of mathematical modeling of many
natural systems in physics (computational
physics), astrophysics, chemistry and biology,
human systems in economics, psychology,
social science, and engineering.
10
Advantages
Can be safer and cheaper than the real world.
Able to test a product or system works before
building it.
Can use it to find unexpected problems.
Able to explore what if questions.
Can speed things up or slow them down to see
changes over long or short periods of time.
11
11
Disadvantage
Mistakes may be made in the
programming[programming: The process of
writing computer software.] or rules of the
simulation or model.
The cost of a simulation model can be high.
The cost of running several different simulations
may be high.
Time may be needed to make sense of the
results.
Peoples reactions to the model or simulation
might not be realistic or reliable.

MATLAB is a high-level
language and interactive
environment for numerical
computation, visualization,
and programming.
Using MATLAB
(communication toolbox),
we can analyze data,
develop algorithms, and
create models and
applications, e.g. C&C
25
A software package for scientific
and engineering computing, quite
similar to Matlab
Scilab is a tool for numeric
computing, as are Excel, GNU
Octave, Matlab, etc. The
alternative is symbolic computing,
to which belong Maple, MathCad,
Mathematica, and others
Developed by Consortium Scilab
(DIGITEO), behind which are a
number of French institutions and
companies
Scilab is free and can be
downloaded at [Link]

How to simulate a wireless
communication in MATLAB? I want to
create wireless nodes and simulate a
communication between them.
I am wondering if anybody has an idea of
how I can simulate a mobile wireless
network (Ad-Hoc) of a few nodes using
MATLAB.
How do I simulate and model network
traffic in Matlab?
