Hallo everybody ,

i'm a junior Communication Engineer and i have take over a project which is based on Cognitive Radio Networks . So, i would like to know about the existing simulators which cover the below topics:

1. Evaluation & Validation of simulation models

2.Comparison with other simulation/emulation tools

3. Parallel simulation & simulation control

4.Intergration of hardware-specific code

5. Simulation of communication networks

6.Intergration with other simulation tools

7.Result interpretation & analysis

8.Modeling techniques

9.Simulation in the top

10.Cross-layer protocol design methologies

11.Simulation in the loop

I consider that a possible "good" simulator for cognitive radio networks is OMNET++/MiXiM f but i would rather your opinion about the "appropiate" simulators and which of these specifications are served.

Thanks in advance
