Wireless Network Toolbox enables you to model and simulate wireless networks, including 5G, WLAN, Bluetooth®, and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). You can analyze network behavior in real-world scenarios to evaluate key performance metrics, such as throughput, spectral efficiency, packet loss ratio, latency, and quality of service.
You can simulate coexistence between heterogeneous networks, such as WLAN and Bluetooth, and explore complex wireless networks using customizable building blocks. These blocks include wireless communication nodes, wireless channels, node placement and mobility models, data traffic generation, logging, and visualization tools. You can also assess how network parameters, like node density and placement, affect overall performance, helping you gain deeper insight into network dynamics.
5G Networks
Simulate 5G networks across standardized 3GPP reference scenarios, urban macro (UMa), urban micro (UMi), rural macro (RMa), and indoor hotspot (InH), using channel models defined in 3GPP TR 38.901 to evaluate network performance under realistic deployment conditions.
WLAN Networks
Simulate WLAN networks, including Wi-Fi® 7 networks with multilink operation (MLO), to evaluate performance under diverse traffic models such as video, voice, and file transfer. Analyze medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) algorithms to measure throughput, latency, and packet loss ratio, and optimize Wi-Fi network performance.
Bluetooth Networks
Simulate multinode communication of low energy (LE) audio and piconet networks. Model managed flooding in Bluetooth mesh networks.
Wireless Network Coexistence
Create and configure a shared channel between Bluetooth and WLAN devices. Simulate and visualize coexistence, and mitigate interference using collaborative and noncollaborative mechanisms.
Ad Hoc Networks
Simulate a MANET with multi-hop nodes operating under time division multiple access (TDMA) MAC and ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing.
Beyond 5G Networks
Simulate cell-free massive MIMO, a potential technology for 6G networks. It enables distributed access points to jointly serve users without cell boundaries, improving coverage, spectral efficiency, and interference management across the network.
