Functional Description
ns-3 is a discrete-event network simulator for Internet systems, targeted primarily for research and educational use.
In the framework of the research project with Alstom Transport (see ยง 8.1.3 ), we have extensively validated several modules of ns-3, related to the PHY and the MAC layers. We have implemented a directional antenna using 3-dimensional data for the radiation diagram. Modules related to the Automatic Train Protection function used in train systems have been implemented and validated. Last, we have developped objects that allow to generate easily simulation scenarios.
