I am using Omnet++ to simulate a custom wireless mac protocol, I am fairly new to omnet so here is my question : can I customize my own nodes ( because I need simple module .cc files to implement the protocol ) and use Inet at the same time to define the characteristics of the channel ( using radiomedium ) ?

I have searched forums and basically anywhere I could look for answer
