About this book
Network simulation is a key technique used to test the future behavior of a network. It’s a vital development component for the development of 5G, IoT, wireless sensor networks, and many more. This book explains the scope and evolution of the technology that has led to the development of dynamic systems such as Internet of Things and fog computing.
You'll focus on the ad hoc networks with stochastic behavior and dynamic nature, and the ns-3 simulator. These are useful open source tools for academics, researchers, students and engineers to deploy telecommunications experiments, proofs and new scenarios with a high degree of similarity with reality. You'll also benefit from a detailed explanation of the examples and the theoretical components needed to deploy wireless simulations or wired, if necessary.
What You’ll Learn
- Review best practices of simulator uses
- Understand techniques for analyzing simulations with artificial agents
- Apply simulation techniques and experiment design
- Program on ns-3 simulator
- Analyze simulation results
- Create new modules or protocols for wired and wireless networks
Who This Book Is For
Undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and professors interested in network simulations. This book also includes theoretical components about simulation, which are useful for those interested in discrete event simulation DES, general theory of simulation, wireless simulation and ns-3 simulator.
