Abstract
Today, wireless networks have experienced significant progress, which has given rise to several technologies that coexist with each other in the same environment forming heterogeneous environments. The problem posed by this architecture is the navigation between several networks in a transparent way, hence the appearance of a compromise between mobility, transparency and performance. The actual study of this architecture is difficult in terms of cost and equipment. The simulation under Opnet Modeler remains a good solution if the user masters the tool first and then the technologies to simulate.
This paper presents a new model for the simulations automation of handovers in homogeneous and heterogeneous networks under Opnet Modeler. This model allows users to generate different scenarios with a minimum knowledge of technologies based on a new Web interface and to launch these simulations under Opnet Modeler.
