A new simulator tool is described that can be used in the field of RF photonics. It has been developed on the basis of a broadband, continuously tunable optical beamformer system for phased array receive antennas. The application that is considered in this paper is airborne satellite reception of digital television. The simulator tool has been developed in LabVIEW. The simulation model comprise...

H.264/AVC has been designed particularly to improve coding efficiency and network friendliness. In this paper, a simulator and profiler tool set based on the SimpleScalar framework [1] is developed to derive instruction level complexity of the H.264/AVC codec [2]. The reference software JM8.6 is analyzed. Arithmetic, logic, shift, control operations and memory bandwidth requirements for the ful...

The ns network simulator is a common tool frequently used for teaching the fundamentals of computer networks. However, our experience with students has shown that writing long ns scripts is not appreciated by them. Hence, we used a custom-made visualization tool — NSBM — where topologies are created using a mouse and then the TCL script is generated automatically. The tool is interactive and ha...

NECO is a simple high-performance simulation framework dedicated to the evaluation of Network Coding based protocols. Its main features include (1) definition of graphs representing the topology (which can be randomly generated by NECO or given through a standard representation), (2) the modular specification of network coding protocols, (3) visualization of network operations and seamless stat...

This paper presents the design and implementation of the NCTUns 1.0 network simulator, which is a high-fidelity and extensible network simulator capable of simulating both wired and wireless IP networks. By using an enhanced simulation methodology, a new simulation engine architecture , and a distributed and open-system architecture, the NCTUns 1.0 network simulator is much more powerful than i...
