Wireless Network Simulation (eBook)

Learn to run your own simulation by working with model analysis, mathematical background, simulation output data, and most importantly, a network simulator for wireless technology. This book introduces the best practices of simulator use, the techniques for analyzing simulations with artificial agents and the integration with other technologies such as Power Line Communications (PLC).

Henry Zárate Ceballos received his PhD in Engineering Computing and Systems and Masters Degree in Telecommunications from the National University of Colombia. Henry is currently a researcher with the TLÖN Group. Henry has worked extesensively with the Ns-2 and Ns-3 simulators and wireless distributed operative systems.

Learn to run your own simulation by working with model analysis, mathematical background, simulation output data, and most importantly, a network simulator for wireless technology. This book introduces the best practices of simulator use, the techniques for analyzing simulations with artificial agents and the integration with other technologies such as Power Line Communications (PLC).Network simulation is a key technique used to test the future behavior of a network. It's a vital development component for the development of 5G, IoT, wireless sensor networks, and many more. This book explains the scope and evolution of the technology that has led to the development of dynamic systems such as Internet of Things and fog computing. You'll focus on the ad hoc networks with stochastic behavior and dynamic nature, and the ns-3 simulator. These are useful open source tools for academics, researchers, students and engineers to deploy telecommunications experiments, proofs and new scenarios with a high degree of similarity with reality.  You'll also benefit from a detailed explanation of the examples and the theoretical components needed to deploy wireless simulations or wired, if necessary.What You'll LearnReview best practices of simulator usesUnderstand techniques for analyzing simulations with artificial agentsApply simulation techniques and experiment designProgram on ns-3 simulatorAnalyze simulation resultsCreate new modules or protocols for wired and wireless networksWho This Book Is ForUndergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and professors interested in network simulations. This book also includes theoretical components about simulation, which are useful for those interested in discrete event simulation DES, general theory of simulation, wireless simulation and ns-3 simulator.
