About nsmiracle

NSMIRACLE is a Multi-InteRfAce Cross-Layer Extension for the Network Simulator version 2.

Its main features are:

• to allow researches to re-define and extend the protocol stack in a flexible and modular way
• to provide support for inter-protocol and inter-layer interaction, by providing means to exchange cross-layer messages
• to provide effective support for multiple and heterogeneous interfaces
• to allow easy, modular and hence flexible implementation of new wireless technologies
• to provide support for improved modeling and simulation of wireless communications with respect to the well-known shortcomings of the current NS release (2.31 at the time of this writing)

Contents

The nsmiracle distribution contains the following software:

• the nsmiracle core library
• several additional libraries which provide:
  • CBR applications
  • Cross-layer message tracers
  • IP functionality (ip-interface correspondance and routing support)
  • TCP (wrapper for ns2 TCP modules)
  • Miracle PHY - a library and API for the implementation of wireless technologies
  • port multiplexers
  • UMTS PHY, MAC and RLC
  • 80211 (wrapper for ns2 implementations, including dei80211mr)
  • additional tools for dei80211mr use in nsmiracle
  • mobility models (e.g., Gauss-Markov mobility)
