We present nanoNS3, a network simulator for modeling Bacterial Molecular Communication (BMC) networks. nanoNS3 is built atop the Network Simulator 3 (ns-3). nanoNS3 is designed to achieve the following goals: 1) accurately and realistically model the real world BMC, 2) maintain high computational efficiency, 3) allow newly designed protocols to be implemented easily. nanoNS3 incorporates the channel, physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers of the network stack. The simulator has models that accurately represent receiver response, microfluidic channel loss, transfer rate and error analysis, modulation, and amplitude addressing designed specifically for BMC networks. We outline the design and architecture of nanoNS3, and then validate the aforementioned features through simulation and experimental results.
