Tactical communication systems based on civil standards: Modeling in the MiXiM framework
In this paper, new work is presented belonging to an ongoing study, which
evaluates civil communication standards as potential candidates for the future
military Wide Band Waveforms (WBWFs). After an evaluation process of possible
candidates presented in [2], the selection process in [1] showed that the IEEE
802.11n OFDM could be a possible military WBWF candidate, but it should be
further investigated first in order to enhance or even replace critical
modules. According to this, some critical modules of the physical layer has
been further analyzed in [3] regarding the susceptibility of the OFDM signal
under jammer influences. However, the critical modules of the MAC layer (e.g.,
probabilistic medium access CSMA/CA) have not been analysed. In fact, it was
only suggested in [2] to replace this medium access by the better suited
Unified Slot Allocation Protocol - Multiple Access (USAP-MA) [4]. In this
regard, the present contribution describes the design paradigms of the new MAC
layer and explains how the proposed WBWF candidate has been modelled within the
MiXiM Framework of the OMNeT++ simulator.Comment: Published in: A. F\"orster, C. Sommer, T. Steinbach, M. W\"ahlisch

Simulation, modelling and packet sniffing facilities for IoT: A systematic analysis
Man and Machine in terms of heterogeneous devices and sensors collaborate giving birth to the Internet of Things, Internet of future. Within a short span of time 30billions intelligent devices in form of smart applications will get connected making it difficult to test and debug in terms of time and cost.Simulators play vital role in verifying application and providing security before actually deploying it in real environment.Due to constraint environment in terms of memory, computation, and energy this review paper under a single umbrella will throw insight on comprehensive and in-depth analysis keeping in mind various barriers, critical design characteristics along with the comparison of candidate simulator and packet sniffing tool. Post simulated analysis play vital role in deciding behavior of data and helping research community to satisfy quality of service parameters.This review makes it feasible to make an appropriate choice for simulators and network analyzer tool easy fulfilling needs and making IoT a realit
Emulation platform design for multimedia applications over vehicular networks
Safety applications seems that will be decisive for a successful introduction to the automotive market for the vehicular networks.
However, another kind of applications could be very helpful in order to reach the maximum number of equipped vehicles after
market introduction, because can attract a greater number of users and facilitate a vehicular infrastructure investment because
vehicular communication must provide business opportunities for Internet service providers to generate revenue. One of these kind
of applications is live video streaming over vehicular networks. Video streaming is an attractive feature to many applications, such
as emergency live video transmission, video on demand services, road-side video advertisement broadcasting and inter-vehicle
video conversation. Test and evaluate implementations in a real testbed environment could be very costly and di cult in this kind
of networks. Simulations are still commonly used as a first step in any development for vehicular networks research. Therefore, to
test this kind of applications an emulation platform for multimedia applications over vehicular networks is presented in this article.
We’ve studied the performance of video streaming services in a infrastructure environment over a highways taking special account
in the losses that produces handovers during the communication caused by the network mobility

Performance Evaluation of Source Routing Minimum Cost Forwarding Protocol over 6TiSCH Applied to the OpenMote-B Platform
The aim of this work is the development of Source Routing Minimum Cost Forwarding (SRMCF) protocol over IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH), evaluating the performance of these protocols for the Internet of Things (IoT). To perform this evaluation, this work is making use of the OpenWSN project platform, which implements IEEE 802.15.4e in an open source environment. The evaluation process is also being done in the most recent version of the OpenMote-B platform. Another goal of this collaboration is to give contribution to the investigation of the applicability of quality of service (QoS) applied to the IEEE 802.15.4e standard. In the present stage of development, the efforts are concentrated on the programming of the required code, and the adaptation of the OpenWSN stack. Once the programming code is implemented, the team will investigate the possibilities to apply quality of service over the stack developed. Next, the team will also investigate the possibilities to explore long range routing techniques using the OpenMote platforms. In this task, we will use xBee, LoraWAN, Raspberry PI and Arduino platforms.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The state of peer-to-peer network simulators
Networking research often relies on simulation in order to test and evaluate new ideas. An important requirement of this process is that results must be reproducible so that other researchers can replicate, validate and extend existing work. We look at the landscape of simulators for research in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks by conducting a survey of a combined total of over 280 papers from before and after 2007 (the year of the last survey in this area), and comment on the large quantity of research using bespoke, closed-source simulators. We propose a set of criteria that P2P simulators should meet, and poll the P2P research community for their agreement. We aim to drive the community towards performing their experiments on simulators that allow for others to validate their results
Methodology to Evaluate WSN Simulators: Focusing on Energy Consumption Awareness
ISBN: 978-1-925953-09-1International audienceNowadays, there exists a large number of available network simulators, that differ in their design, goals, and characteristics. Users who have to decide which simulator is the most appropriate for their particular requirements, are today lost, faced with a panoply of disparate and diverse simulators. Hence, it is obvious the need for establishing guidelines that support users in the tasks of selecting and customizing a simulator to suit their preferences and needs. In previous works, we proposed a generic and novel methodological approach to evaluate network simulators, considering a set of qualitative and quantitative criteria. However, it lacks criteria related to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Thus, the aim of this work is three fold: (i) extend the previous proposed methodology to include the evaluation of WSN simulators, such as energy consumption modelling and scalability; (ii) elaborate a study of the state of the art of WSN simulators, with the intention of identifying the most used and cited in scientific articles; and (iii) demonstrate the suitability of our novel methodology by evaluating and comparing three of the most cited simulators. Our novel methodology provides researchers with an evaluation tool that can be used to describe and compare WSN simulators in order to select the most appropriate one for a given scenario
IPV6 BLOCKCHAIN DATA COMMUNICATION FOR UAV SWARM-INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS BASED ON PEER-TO-PEER, PEER-TO-MANY, AND MANY-TO-PEER SCENARIOS
This thesis explores the use of blockchains along with the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) data packet messages to support secure, high-performance, and scalable communication with an intelligent swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For this thesis, we investigate the exchange of encrypted data packets for three scenarios, those being peer-to-peer, peer-to-many, and many-to-peer. We simulate the swarm’s behavior for each of these scenarios and vary the number of UAVs in a swarm over the simulation runs. The simulation-based results showed that for peer-to-peer scenarios and many-to-peer scenarios, there is no significant increase in latency even though in many-to-peer scenarios, the number of interacting nodes increases. In contrast, latency increases for the peer-to-many scenarios. Additional research needs to be performed to assess the security and scalability of the blockchain-IPv6 approach proposed in this thesis.Major, Indonesian NavyApproved for public release.
