 Several proposed works in WSNs require evaluating the power depletion efficiently and accurately for network lifetime prediction. On the other hand, the wrong energy evaluation leads to waste of energy because the sensor nodes might be rendered useless long time before draining their energy. Furthermore, the sensor nodes might die in advance of the expected lifetime. However, evaluation experiments on actually deployed WSN suffer some constraints because the large number of sensor nodes, which are deployed in a hostile and inaccessible environments. Moreover, the analytical (or theoretical) models might be unrealistic for real world  systems. 
 Therefore, the energy consumption results by simulation and testbed evaluations give an alternative on time, precision and cost. In addition, the researchers can also evaluate and test their proposed works with simulation tools as well as testbed devices.

 \item \textbf{OMNeT++:}
 
-OMNeT++ (Objective Modular Network Testbed) is an open-source, free, discrete-event, component-based C++ simulation library, modular simulation framework for building network simulators~\cite{ref196,ref203}. In spite of OMNeT++ is not a network simulator itself, it is obtained a global popularity as a network simulation platform for both scientific and industrial communities. The major goal behind the development of OMNeT++ is to provide a strong simulation tool, which can be used by the academic and commercial researchers for simulating different types of networks in a distributed and parallel way~\cite{ref197}. OMNeT++ has extensive graphical user interface (GUI) and intelligence support. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like systems. It provides a component architecture for models. Components (modules) are programmed in C++, then assembled into larger components and models using a high-level language (NED)~\cite{ref198}. Several simulation frameworks can be used with OMNeT++ such as INET, INETMANET, MiXiM, and Castalia, where each of them provides a set of simulation facilities and can be used for a specific applications.

 \item \textbf{OPNET:}
 
-OPNET (Optimized Network Engineering tool)~\cite{ref199,ref200,ref201} is the first commercial simulation tool that developed in 1987 for communication networks. It is a discrete event, object-oriented, general purpose network simulator, which is widely used in industry. It uses C and Java languages. It provides a comprehensive development environment for the specification, simulation, configuration, and performance analysis of the communication network. The OPNET permits researchers in developing the various models by means of a graphical interface. It provides different types of tools such as Probe Editor, Filter Tool, and Animation Viewer for data collection to the model graph and animate the resulting output. Unlike ns-2, the OPNET provides modeling for different sensor-specific hardware, such as physical-link transceivers and antennas. It includes sensor-specific models such as ad-hoc connectivity, mobility of nodes, node failure models, modeling of power-consumption, etc. The OPNET is commercial simulator and the license is very expensive. Therefore, this represents the main disadvantage of  that simulator.

 IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA, MAC, UDP, HTTP, FTP, CBR, ODMRP, WRP, DSR, MACA, Telnet, AODV, etc. It uses a VT visualization tool to observe and debug these protocols. The GloMoSim is designed to be extensible with all protocols implemented as modules in its library.  It also uses an object-oriented approach. It is dividing the nodes, and each object is responsible for executing one layer in the protocol stack of every node for its given division. This mechanism minimizes the overhead of a large-scale sensor network.
 
 The GloMoSim supports a wide range of protocols and its configuration is easy. Due to the parallel processing nature, it supplies a fast simulation. The GloMoSim provides efficient simulation for IP networks whilst it does not support accurate simulation for many sensor network applications. Since 2000, the GloMoSim has been stopping releasing updates. It is currently updated as a commercial product called QualNet.
