Abstract
In the most recent years, many kinds of simulation packages have been developed for wireless sensor networks. Network developers, engineers, and researchers are frequently using the network simulators for evaluating performance and efficiency of their network protocols. However, the existing wireless network simulators have some drawbacks such as difficulties in programming, lenthy compile time, hard to understand simulator engine, and their reliability issues. In this paper, we present the Virtual Protocol Stack (VPS) for wireless network simulators. The VPS provides two important features; 1) a unified programming interface for developing network protocols, and 2) separation of simulator engine and the network protocols. By using the VPS , developers no longer concern about understanding different simulator engines. By doing so, developers can share their network protocol modules with each other. We implemented and adapted VPS on existing well-known simulation packages, and we observed that VPS well adapted to the different wireless network simulators.
