Item An Overview of Applications of Cognitive Wireless Communication Simulators(Faculty of Engineering, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2023-06-05) Ehiagwina, F. O.; Surajudeen-Bakinde, N. T.; Afolabi, A. S.; Afolabi, L. O.; Usman, A. M.Cognitive radio is proposed in the literature to address the ironical problem of spectrum scarcity owing to inefficient utilisation. This idea has recently gained popularity because it provides wireless users with the ability to detect and efficiently adapt operating parameters based on interactions with the surrounding radio environment. In the evaluation of cognitive radio networks simulators are used. The simulators differ in terms of platforms and technicalities. Thus making selection process difficult. In this review, attention is paid to cognitive radio network simulators such as Network Simulator 2 and 3 (NS-2) and (NS-3), Java Simulator (J-Sim), Operations Network (OPNET) and MATLAB. In the selection of literature covered in this review, attention was paid to publications not later than 2017 from reputable databases. This review of cognitive radio network simulators will provide useful insights to new researchers in this field. Furthermore, a case study is reported on the application of the Monte Carlo simulation method to the cognitive radio network.
