= Summary =
The '''Open''' '''Source''' '''W'''ireless '''N'''etwork '''S'''imulator ('''openWNS''') is an open source simulation platform for wireless and multi-cellular mobile communication systems (e.g. WiMAX, WLAN).

= Description =
Our goal is to develop an open source system level simulation platform (openWNS) for performance evaluation and comparison of wireless and professional multi-cellular mobile communication systems. The simulation platform will offer close-to-emulation implementation of the respective protocol stack, including implementations of detailed interference modeling in reference scenarios, mobility models, traffic load generators, statistical evaluation methods and detailed channel models.
