Abstract
Currently there is a growing number of wireless communication technologies. The development of these technologies is driven by new applications such as smart grids, smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks. Researchers from Pontifical Catholic University of Parana (PUCPR) and Technological Federal University of Parana (UTFPR) are developing a new simulation platform using Mathematica software in order to provide support for further research in these areas. The simulation platform allows design topologies following connectivity and performance criteria. It also allows you to assess network capacity and performance of communication links through analytical models. The simulator allows to perform packet level simulations. You can also easily introduce new radio technologies, new channel models and quickly implement new communication protocols. The seminar aims to demonstrate the functionality already implemented and the potential of the new simulator combined with the features of Mathematica software.
