Network Simulation of the Electronic Battlefield

Abstract

While many existing tools can simulate specific parts of wireless communication systems in detail, no single software tool, or integrated framework has been proposed to simulate the complete wireless systems including highly detailed RF propagation and radio and networking protocols. It has been shown that results from network simulation can be simply wrong and misleading when underlying devices and operating environments are not modeled appropriately. The primary reason for a lack of such integrated tools is the major computational challenge that is imposed by the combined model. This project proposes to build such an environment using HPC resources to overcome the computational challenge.
