This paper describes an advanced simulation environment which is used to examine, validate, and predict the performance of mobile wireless network systems. This simulation environment overcomes many of the limitations found with analytical models, experimentation, and other commercial network simulators available on the market today. We identify a set of components which make up mobile wireless systems and describe a set of flexible modules which can be used to model the various components and their integration. These models are developed using the Maisie simulation language. By modeling the various components and their integration, this simulation environment is able to accurately predict the performance bottlenecks of a multimedia wireless network system being developed at UCLA, determine the trade-off point between the various bottlenecks, and provide performance measurements and validation of algorithms which are not possible through experimentation and too complex for analysis.

Routing protocols in ad hoc networks: A survey

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ad hoc wireless networks perform the difficult task of multi-hop communication in an environment without a dedicated infrastructure, with mobile nodes and changing network topology. Different deployments exhibit various constraints, such as energy limitations, opportunities, such as the knowledge of the physical location of the nodes in certain scenarios, and requirements, such as real-time or multi-cast communication. In the last 15 years, the wireless networking community designed hundreds of new routing protocols targeting the various scenarios of this design space. The objective of this paper is to create a taxonomy of the ad hoc routing protocols, and to survey and compare representative examples for each class of protocols. We strive to uncover the requirements considered by the different protocols, the resource limitations under which they operate, and the design decisions made by the authors.

“…Among such problems are battlefield simulations [18,37], the simulation of personal communications services (PCS) [3,7,16,23], etc. In general, spatially explicit applications consist of a multidimensional space, which is discretized into a multidimensional lattice.…”

“…The space is discretized into nodes of size 20 × 20m 2 , which represents the size of the Because of the discrete nature of individual-based models such as the one described above, they lend themselves well to discrete event simulation techniques. Discrete event simulation (DES) is a technique which has been used in modeling communication systems [3,7,16,23], electronic circuits [10], battlefield scenarios [18,37], etc. In DES, the physical system is modeled by a single process consisting of the process state, the clock, and the event queue.…”
