Über dieses Buch

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 design

Who This Book Is For
Undergraduate 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.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Simulation
Abstract
Computers have become one of the main resources for research. They are essential to analyze models through simulations, giving more options to verify the interactions between the components of a model, and essential to analyze large amounts of data.

Chapter 2. Wireless and Ad Hoc Networks
Abstract
The proliferation of communication devices and networks is the result of the exponential development of wireless components for computing devices. This development allowed the diffusion of services and new alternatives for users to interact with new technologies, with each other, and with the development of social networks and applications to stream and share a variety of content.

Chapter 3. Design of Simulation Experiments
Abstract
Experiments were conceived as a way of understanding nature and exploring its properties through research: “In the beginning, natural philosophers tried to understand the world around them, trying to do that, they hit upon the great idea of contriving artificially simple situations in which the number of factors involved is reduced to a minimum; divide and conquer! Experimental science was born. But experiment is a tool, the aims remains: to understand the world.”

Chapter 4. Network Simulating Using ns-3
Abstract
ns-3 is an open source discrete-event simulator, licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. It is publicly available for research, development, and learning over networks, protocols, and traffic (Figure 4-1).

Chapter 5. Analysis of Results
Abstract
As computers become more powerful today, they also become an important means to analyze data and perform simulations of theoretical models and complex systems, just by setting up different scenarios, varying some parameters, and allowing their execution. Simulation is a tool employed for theoretical and empirical research. When a theoretical model is instantiated and simulated, the output data generated can be considered as a hypothesis, which produces the starting point for an experimental process and also creates a foundation to make operational decisions before a real implementation.

Chapter 6. MANET Simulation on ns-3
Abstract
An ad hoc network is a computer network linked by wireless interfaces, with a set of dynamic computing resources. This kind of network works on dynamic and stochastic conditions to provide services to its users. Ad hoc networks have two properties: the first is self-organization, and the second is to have a decentralized architecture. Formally, ad hoc networks [72]–[75] are a random graph as a set of vertices called nodes. In this case, these nodes are mobile devices, joined by links called edges that change dynamically at time function and with the environment conditions, for instance, the propagation, spectrum distortions, users petitions, and so on.

Chapter 7. MANETs and PLC on ns-3
Abstract
Much of the work in telecommunications is done in the physical channel through which the transmission of information is carried out. Each communication channel has its own characteristics that facilitate or hinder the transmission of information, so the technology must be adapted using different modulation, multiplexing techniques, and efficient access to the transmission medium.
