Extending the Energy Framework for Network Simulator 3 (ns-3)

摘要: The problem of designing and simulating optimal transmission protocols for energy harvesting wireless networks has recently received considerable attention, thus requiring an accurate modeling the process a consequent redesign simulation framework to include it. While current ns-3 allows definition new sources that incorporate contribution harvester, integration harvester component into existing source is not straightforward using framework. In this poster, we propose extension currently released with in order explicitly introduce concept harvester. Starting from general interface, then provide implementation two simple models addition, extend set implementations model supercapacitor device consumption sensor. Finally, predictor, gathers information use predict amount will be available future, example implementation. As result these efforts, believe our contributions useful tool enhance quality simulations energy-aware networks.
