Özet
Nowadays, distributed systems consisting of a large number of simple devices are used to perform complex operations rather than advanced devices alone. Particularly, networked systems of nanoscale devices are called Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT). This new field has emerged with new problems to be solved where simulation of nanonetworks is one of these problems. In this study, Electromagnetic (EM) communication-based nanonetwork simulators used in IoNT applications are examined in detail to determine the advantages and their drawbacks. Different than the related studies, our contribution is a detailed and up-to-date roadmap for simulator selection for researchers working in different layers of nanonetwork applications such as channel modeling, antenna design, modulation methods, medium access control (MAC) protocols, and routing algorithms. © 2021 IEEE
