Establishing and implementation of a whole network in real time scenario is very difficult. It is too much time consuming and costly to deploy a complete test bed component containing multiple networks (computers, routers and data links) to validate and verify a certain network protocol or a specific network algorithm for wired and wireless network. A widespread methodology is used for verifyin...

—Simulation methodology has become popular among computer and telecommunication network researchers and developers worldwide. This popularity is due to the availability of various sophisticated and powerful simulation packages, and also because of the flexibility in model construction and validation offered by simulation. For selecting an appropriate network simulator for a simulation task, it ...

The Network Simulator-3 (ns-3) is rapidly developing into a flexible and easy-to-use tool suitable for wireless network simulation. Since energy consumption is a key issue for wireless devices, wireless network researchers often need to investigate the energy consumption at a battery powered node or in the overall network, while running network simulations. This requires the underlying simulato...

This paper presents a new discrete event-based network simulator named TARVOS – Computer Networks Simulator, being designed as part of the first Author’s Masters research and will provide support to simulating MPLS architecture, several RSVP-TE protocol functionalities and fast recovery in case of link failure. The tool is used in a case study, where the impact of a link failure on a VoIP appli...

This paper introduces a GPRS-like cellular network simulator, where mobile terminals move, initiate and terminate their communications. This tool aims at evaluating the major QoS parameters in realistic propagation conditions and for different resource allocation policies. Our objectives on developping such simulator are first to compare some of existing channel management methods and second, t...

This article presents a new data-driven model design for rendering force responses from elastic tool deformation. The new design incorporates a six-dimensional input describing the initial position of the contact, as well as the state of the tool deformation. The input-output relationship of the model was represented by a radial basis functions network, which was optimized based on training dat...
