No, it's not possible.

As explained in other threads, ns-3 does not simulate the processing power of a node, so each node is equivalent to a device that has "enough resources" to do its job in a negligible time.

Of course you can add a model for that, but you'll have to create the model, e.g., by adding a delay between events at application layer.

thank you for taking the time to answer my question
So is there any other possible way?any other network simulator with this capability?

No clue, and I don't think it's a capability included in any network simulator. Unless you want to use something completely different like GNS3 (no connections with ns-3), where the nodes aren't software object, they're virtual machines running real OSes. You'll have limitations in other areas tho.
