TL;DR: The design objectives and initial design of a new discrete-event network simulator for the research community are reported on and a new IEEE 802.11 model provided with yans is described.

Abstract: We report on the design objectives and initial design of a new discrete-event network simulator for the research community. Creating Yet Another Network Simulator (yans, http://yans.inria.fr/yans) is not the sort of prospect network researchers are happy to contemplate, but this effort may be timely given that ns-2 is considering a major revision and is evaluating new simulator cores. We describe why we did not choose to build on existing tools such as ns-2, GTNetS, and OPNET, outline our functional requirements, provide a high-level view of the architecture and core components, and describe a new IEEE 802.11 model provided with yans.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a hybrid architecture, namely, VMaSC-LTE, combining IEEE 802.11p-based multihop clustering and the fourth-generation (4G) cellular system, i.e., Long-Term Evolution (LTE), with the goal of achieving a high data packet delivery ratio (DPDR) and low delay while keeping the usage of the cellular architecture at a minimum level.

Sniffing out the correct Physical Layer Capture model in 802.11b CS-TR-4583.1 UMIACS-TR-2004-26.1

Andrzej Kochut, +3 more

- 01 Jan 2004

TL;DR: It is shown empirically that in reality PLC occurs even if the stronger frame arrives later (but within the physical layer preamble of the first frame), which means throughput unfairness in reality can be significantly (up to 15%) higher than with the former PLC model.
