I have 13 years experience on the telecom industry designing, building and managing networks for fixed and wireless service providers. I regularly use simulation software to test and optimise network designs.
You will need to supply the necessary simulation software to simulate the design concept in the paper you have referenced. You will also need to clarify what aspect of the network you are interested in testing. The purpose of simulations is usually to understand the strengths and weaknesses under different scenarios. It's the scenarios I will need from you.
