Network Simulation [NwSim]
3433 L 0278, Summer 2021
Contents
This course offers the chance to get in touch with the network simulation framework OMNeT++. Simulation is one possibility (others are experiments or mathematical analysis) to evaluate the performance of systems which might even not be available in reality.
After getting a basic introduction to simulation and modeling, we will study a small example project already using OMNeT++. Finally, we will work in small groups of 2-3 people on interesting research-focused projects of the areas vehicular communication and wireless sensor networks.
- Network Simulation
- OMNeT++
- Model Management with git
- Verification and Validation
- Design of Experiments
- Result Evaluation with R
Learning Outcome
The learning objective is to unserstand the fundamental concepts of network simulation. Students understand these concepts and are able to apply this knowledge.
General Information / Methods
This master course will be held in English and all the course material is available in English.
This course consists of lectures and labs. The lecture gives an overview and background information on the topics of in-car and car-to-x communication as well as the performance evaluation of such systems. During the labs, this knowledge will be applied in hands-on simulative performance studies. All simulation code will be written in C++ and executed on Linux systems.
For more information, slides, and required submissions, please see our ISIS page.
