matlab-simulate-wireless-network

Set up and run wireless network simulations using the Wireless Network Toolbox. Use this skill when creating system-level simulations with wirelessNetworkSimulator, adding traffic sources (networkTrafficOnOff, networkTrafficFTP, networkTrafficVoIP, networkTrafficVideoConference), configuring node mobility, logging events or IQ samples, visualizing traffic, scheduling actions during simulation, running parametric sweeps, writing PCAP files with pcapWriter or technology-specific PCAP writers, registering event callbacks on wireless nodes, accessing event data fields, or combining multiple captur

# Wireless Network Simulation Fundamentals Foundation patterns for system-level wireless simulation. Technology-specific skills build on these for node creation, connection configuration, and KPI extraction. ## When to Use - Creating system-level wireless network simulations with `wirelessNetworkSimulator` - Adding traffic sources (`networkTrafficOnOff`, `networkTrafficFTP`, `networkTrafficVoIP`, `networkTrafficVideoConference`) - Configuring node mobility (random waypoint, custom models) - Logging events or IQ samples with `wirelessNetworkEventTracer` or IQ logger - Visualizing traffic with `wirelessTrafficViewer` and network layout with `wirelessNetworkViewer` - Scheduling actions during simulation with `scheduleAction` - Running parametric sweeps over simulation parameters - Writing PCAP files with `pcapWriter` or technology-specific PCAP writers - Creating custom nodes by subclassing `wnet.Node` - Registering event callbacks on wireless nodes ## When Not to Use - PHY-layer or link-level simulations without `wirelessNetworkSimulator` - Bluetooth-specific topology setup (use `matlab-simulate-bluetooth-network` instead) - WLAN-specific or 5G NR-specific configuration (use the resp

About this skill
What does the matlab-simulate-wireless-network skill do?

Set up and run wireless network simulations using the Wireless Network Toolbox. Use this skill when creating system-level simulations with wirelessNetworkSimulator, adding traffic sources (networkTrafficOnOff, networkTrafficFTP, networkTrafficVoIP, networkTrafficVideoConference), configuring node mobility, logging events or IQ samples, visualizing traffic, scheduling actions during simulation, running parametric sweeps, writing PCAP files with pcapWriter or technology-specific PCAP writers, registering event callbacks on wireless nodes, accessing event data fields, or combining multiple captur

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit --skill matlab-simulate-wireless-network --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit, a repository with 868 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
