Simulation of network algorithms and protocols

The performance of algorithms and protocols designed by the team have to be evaluated in various conditions: various configurations and various scenarii. The team uses different simulation tools. Historically, the first one was NS2 and some deployment algorithms are developed with NS2, taking advantage of its library and our previous works. We are now contributing to the development of NS3, enriching it with new modules (e.g. wireless medium access). For rapid simulation results and to validate design choices, we resort to Java home-made simulation tools (e.g. joint time slot and channel allocation).
