Can I design a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) using Simulink or MATLAB?

I've a node deployment algorithm for WSN and I need to implement it using MATLAB. I need help about how to turn the mathematical model into MATLAB code. where to start?

I can send the mathematical equations which I need to code in case someone is ready to help :)

Do you have any paper that you are following. This work is equivalent to a Thesis or dissertation.

Anyways since you asked, here are the steps: (assuming you are performing energy based simulations)

1. Model the network (something like a meshgrid) 2. Model the channel (depending on the quantization) 3. Model individual sensors (as a cost of energy efficiency and communication) 4. add random noise to the system 5. For a particular target in the network (particular position, power, start with initial conditions and run monte carlo simulations)

Thanks alot. I need help about how to write such mathematical model into MATLAB code. Can you please help me about this?
