Question: 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?

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)
