A Tool for Real Time Simulations of TCP/IP Over Wireless Fading Channels
Overview This paper describes an ongoing effort to create a platform for realistic real-time simulations of wireless communication systems. The purpose of the work is primarily to evaluate the performance of existing and new approaches to provide wide area mobile and wireless Internet. The new approaches comprise of enhancements to transport protocols, and spectrally efficient allocation of the wireless resources. The simulation tool is, just like the communication protocol stack, divided into several separate layers, each providing its functionality. It is also distributed over several computers that communicate over an ethernet. The main contribution, that makes the real-time simulation possible, is provided by very heavy calculations and extensive off-line simulations of the lower layers in the communication stack.
