Before the steps of manufacturing and deployment, a simulation and validation phase is necessary. Given the increasing complexity of systems such as telecommunications systems, control systems and others, a specific simulation and validation process must take place. This simulation ideally made in a single development environment should cover different areas and all components of the system. In this paper, the authors briefly describe the behavioral models of the elements of a large scale WSN （wireless sensors network） used to create simulator, focusing specifically on the model of the transmission channel, and how it can retrieve results from the behavioral simulator. In side to legacy network simulator, for the testing and modeling of communication protocols, this simulator should not omit WSN specific aspect, in accuracy it covers the modeling of node platforms, protocols, and real world phenomena.展开更多
