 Through the use of network simulators we are able to test and examine diﬀerent combinations of protocols in low cost and controlled environments. This is especially important for Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) due to their expensive and complex deployment and upkeep costs for real-system testing. Due to the unique research challenges seen in UWSNs, this requires a standard simulation platform to support testing of diﬀerent designs, algorithms and protocols. Furthermore, we must ensure that this tool oﬀers a broad range of specialized features to allow for easier and expandable testing.
-We have previously developed a simulator, called [[Aqua-Sim]], for underwater sensor networks, based on NS-2. NS-2 is a popular network simulator developed in 2000. Like any simulator, over the years, NS-2 has shown its age and was superseded by NS-3 in 2008. To address various limitations introduced by NS-2, in this project, we propose Aqua-Sim Next Generation (NG), a UWSN simulator based on NS-3. The goal of this core simulator changeover is to improve memory management, through the use of smart pointers, have stronger packet header handling, and overall performance improvements. Consequently, this transition allows us to restructure the architecture of Aqua-Sim and better modularize the simulator’s protocol layers. Due to the vast diﬀerences between NS-2 and NS-3, this change also requires rewriting Aqua-Sim's core and protocol code to meet new API standards.

 Due to the harsh conditions of UWSNs it is crucial to simulate components of real-world systems to ensure strong testing results. To accomplish this task we have implemented four main areas of improvements in Aqua-Sim NG:

 Aqua-Sim NG's new architecture is centralized around each net device, while also allowing for interaction with the channel layer. Therefore, we can individually use unique modules in parallel, such as introducing synchronization support alongside MAC layer protocols through diversifying how our simulated packets are handled. Additionally, we incorporate strongly correlated class inheritance for more influential and meaningful function use.
