How to Install Omnet++

1. Download and extract the Omnet++ source folder. Run "mingwenv" Windows command prompt inside the source folder by double-clicking it.
2. A command prompt will appear.
3. Once the dollar symbol appears, execute ".setenv", then run "./configure" to configure files, and finally type "make".
4. After installation, type "omnetpp" to open the Omnet++ IDE.

Omnet++ Example in WSN Healthcare System (Sensor Networks)

The healthcare system network simulation is enhanced by flooding patient information through wireless networks simulated in Omnet++. Each patient is monitored via wireless sensor networks, improving real-time data accessibility and analysis.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

Wireless sensor network (WSN) simulation plays a key role in healthcare systems. Omnet++ enables peer-to-peer communication in both structured and unstructured WSN models. It provides an open-source environment to design and test network protocols efficiently.

Cloud-Based Wireless Sensor Network in Omnet++

In a cloud-based WSN scenario, body sensor nodes are embedded on a patient to sense physiological parameters. Due to limited transmission range and battery power, a sink node collects the sensed information. The sink node forwards the data to the cloud system, which then transfers it to the base station and ultimately to the doctor. This example demonstrates a healthcare monitoring environment using Omnet++ simulations.

We provide technical support for engineering and Ph.D. scholars to simulate various networks in Omnet++. This is just one of many Omnet++ examples for network simulations. Researchers can implement and test numerous network topologies with Omnet++.
