In this work we present SimuLTE, an OMNeT++-based simulator for LTE and LTE-Advanced networks. Following well-established OMNeT++ programming practices, SimuLTE exhibits a fully modular structure, which makes it easy to be extended, verified and integrated. Moreover, it inherits all the benefits of such a widely-used and versatile simulation framework as OMNeT++, i.e., experiment support and se...

Wireless communication has attracted considerable interest in the research community, and many wireless networks are evaluated using discrete event simulators like OMNeT++. Although OMNeT++ provides a powerful and clear simulation framework, it lacks of direct support and a concise modeling chain for wireless communication. Both is provided by MiXiM. MiXiM joins and extends several existing sim...

This paper describes a general approach to dealing with cross layer information in OMNeT++-based network simulations. Rather than prescribe a specific cross layer architecture, this work is intended to address the software engineering problem of passing information between simulation modules in a sound way. An XML-based mechanism for passing information between modules using OMNeT++’s controlIn...

Discrete event simulators, such as OMNeT++, provide fast and convenient methods for the assessment of algorithms and protocols, especially in the context of wired and wireless networks. Usually, simulation parameters such as topology and traffic patterns are predefined to observe the behaviour reproducibly. However, for learning about the dynamic behaviour of a system, a live interaction that a...

The OMNeT++ discrete event simulation environment has been publicly available since 1997. It has been created with the simulation of communication networks, multiprocessors and other distributed systems in mind as application area, but instead of building a specialized simulator, OMNeT++ was designed to be as general as possible. Since then, the idea has proven to work, and OMNeT++ has been use...

Energy Framework is an extensible OMNeT++ framework for modeling battery consumption in wireless networks. It is designed so there is a clear separation between modeling of battery state and energy consuming operations, enabling more sophisticated modeling of system behavior. The Energy Framework is largely implemented in “pure” OMNeT++; it has been successfully incorporated into the Mobility F...

In this paper, the network simulation framework OMNeT++ is used for development and testing of automotive EthernetNetworks. Therefore OMNeT++ is extended by the INET framework. It is augmented by an implementation of the protocol SOME/IP (-SD) and an connector to the middleware Gamma V. The middleware is used to configure the network by initialization. Additionally data, which is sent over the ...

Simulation normally serves one of two purposes. The first one is evaluation of certain algorithms. The second one is development and test of applications with infrastructural requirements which exceed those commonly available (e.g. distributed applications for wireless networks). In the latter case it is highly desirable that the code used for simulation can be easily adopted to real hardware w...

In recent years model based analysis has become more and more important for the development of business processes, manufacturing systems and logistics networks [4]. The ProC/B -toolset [1] is a framework for the modelling and analysis of logistics networks using the process chain based formalism ProC/B . This paper describes the integration of OMNeT++ into the toolset that allows an efficient s...

Omnet++ is a powerful and open-source simulation tool which is basically intended to model discrete-event systems. In particular, Omnet++ is extensively used to model and simulate computer networks. Typically, when a Wide Area Network needs to be modeled, different assumptions are made in order to simplify the complexity associated with human behavior. Nevertheless, human behavior can also be m...
