As electronics and communication industry is growing rapidly by leaps and bounds, wireless technology is showing its impact on the newly emerging communication technology. Generally, when a design is proposed, it cannot be implemented directly in the real world at large, as it may give undesired results and later, for rectification, the whole project has to be modified. To avoid such situation, new protocols or techniques/schemes are tested with the help of analytical modeling or simulators in computers. As simulation can be done on a prototype, a modification can be done easily. After simulation, if the result is yielded as desired, then these protocols can be implemented for final design of the project.
Analyses using analytical methods are not precise and also time-consuming. It also consumes energy, CPU memory and power. Real-world implementation is realistic. Therefore, analysis of physical design using the analytical method is not only time-consuming but also costly, as it requires hardware, manpower and other resources. Hence, simulation is not only affordable which provides desired results but also cost-effective. Therefore, the performance of any design or protocol is evaluated first with the help of simulators.
