Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET)

MANET White Papers

Overview:

NetSim's MANETs networks library enables users to design, simulate and analyze the performance of mobile ad hoc networks. Check here for information on MANET Military Radios.

MANETs Design Window
Fig: A complex MANET Network scenario modeled in NetSim, consisting of two independent MANETs connected to one another via a wireless bridge nodes. Connectivity to the data network (internet) is also through the bridge node. The more typical use case involves a single wireless ad hoc network with arbitrarily located nodes which may also be mobile.

Statistics Overview

  • NetSim provides a variety of summary statistics - at network level, link level and per application basis - including:
    • Throughput
    • Delay
    • Errors
    • Data and control packet information
    • Forwarding tables
  • Trace and logs
    • Packet trace records details like packet ID, source, destination, arrival time, payload, overheads etc.
    • Radio measurements log that records Tx-Rx Distance, Tx Power, Pathloss, Rx Power, SNR, SINR and BER for each transmission
  • Source Code Accessibility
    • Protocol source C codes are provided.
    • Users can adapt the underlying codes using the MS Visual Studio development environment for specific requirements or enhancements.
  • Integration Capabilities
    • NetSim supports socket-based external interfacing to MATLAB, allowing users to expand their simulation and analysis capabilities.
  • Simulation of cyber attacks and countermeasures
    • Sinkhole attack
    • Secure AODV
