On the Robustness of Simple Indoor MANET Simulation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that simple radio propagation and node mobility models widely used in MANET evaluation are not robust in indoor environments. Robust simulation models let researchers extrapolate simulation results and reach reliable conclusions about expected protocol performance. We experiment with two representative MANET routing protocols under different mobility and radio propagation models with decreasing levels of complexity. We show that the effects of successive simplifications to the node mobility and radio propagation models are not consistent across protocols. Moreover, even within the same protocol, the effects on performance can vary erratically as simulation parameters change. Our results raise troubling questions about the soundness of evaluations of MANET routing protocols based on simple radio propagation and node mobility

Estimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملAn ANOVA Based Analytical Dynamic Matrix Controller Tuning Procedure for FOPDT Models
Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) is a widely used model predictive controller (MPC) in industrial plants. The successful implementation of DMC in practical applications requires a proper tuning of the controller. The available tuning procedures are mainly based on experience and empirical results. This paper develops an analytical tool for DMC tuning. It is based on the application of Analysis of V...
متن کاملWorld Journal of Modelling and Simulation
Network simulation tools are frequently used to analyze performance of MANET protocols and applications. They commonly offer only simple radio propagation models that neglect obstacles of a propagation environment. The radio wave propagation model has a strong impact on the results of the simulation run. This work shows different radio propagation models into a simulation tool. The model is bas...
متن کاملNatural Ventilation: Analysis of Indoor Airflow in an Assumed Cubic Building with Opposite Openings by CFD Investigations
The natural ventilation is an easy way to exchange the indoor polluted warm air with outdoor fresh air. The wind power injects outdoor fresh air into the building. A good indoor air current and subsequently a proper exhaust depend on the openings’ conditions and their situations. A serious architectural question is under what conditions of the openings the wind-cross ventilation can be effectiv...

In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...
