Enabling multiple controllable radios in OMNeT++ nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work describes our implementation of a framework that allows mobile nodes in OMNeT++ simulations to be equipped with multiple radio subsystems that can be dynamically suspended and woken up. Our framework enables the simulation of wireless architectures that exploit radio hierarchies for power-efficient neighbor and service discovery and connection setup. The design is implemented as an extension of the MiXiM framework and is maintained as a MiXiM branch.

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...
متن کاملEnabling Soft Vertical Handover for MIPv6 in OMNeT++
Switching connectivity over multiple wireless interfaces of a mobile node is essential when performing handover between heterogeneous networks. In such a communication scenario, session continuity as experienced by the user can be enhanced if soft handover is enabled through the concept of make-before-break. However, some of the available networking protocols need to be modified to support this...

متن کاملConnectivity in a Multi-radio, Multi-channel Heterogeneous Ad Hoc Network
Abstract. Future wireless networks are expected to integrate heterogeneous devices equipped with multiple radios and different characteristics. Nodes equipped with a single communication interface will co-exist with nodes equipped with multiple radios that can transmit and receive simultaneously. Therefore, it is important to understand how these heterogeneous radios can affect connectivity and...
