Novel ns-3 model enabling simulation of electromagnetic wireless underground networks

摘要: Wireless Underground Networks (WUNs) have applications such as agriculture, border surveillance, maintenance of playing fields, and infrastructure monitoring. When designing a sensor network for one these some the sensors (communication nodes) will be buried underground, which means propagation medium soil or hybrid (air plus soil) in case nodes is aboveground. Thus, new models to implemented existing simulators, order enable proper simulation communications scenarios.This paper presents model, named underground discusses its integration into ns-3 simulator. The model enables WUNs, including topologies with aboveground nodes. accuracy shown two frequency bands by comparing simulations results experimental results.
