Improving the Credibility of MANET Simulation ScenariosAd hoc networking involves computers, typically wireless mobile nodes (MNs) that cooperatively form a network without specific user administration or configuration. In other words, ad hoc networking allows an arbitrary collection of MNs to create a network on demand. There are numerous scenarios that do not have an available network infrastructure and could benefit from the creation of an ad hoc network: rescue/emergency operations, law enforcement activities, and tactical missions.Research in the mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) field typically uses simulation in order to imitate the appearance or character of the MANET being studied; indeed, most of what is known about MANETs has been discovered through simulation. A simulation study involves several steps, each of which must be carried out properly in order to obtain reliable results. Unfortunately, much of the MANET simulation research that has been done is seriously flawed. In many cases, simulation scenarios provide environments that are not rigorous enough to provide meaningful results; in some other cases, the environments provide more stress than is desirable. As a result, published MANET simulation studies generally lack credibility. The purpose of this project is to enhance the credibility of MANET simulations. The intellectual merit of this work is to develop tools and methods for the MANET research community that will improve the credibility of simulation-based studies. The broader impact of this work is to assist the MANET community in moving from incredible simulation studies to credible simulation studies.

提高MANET仿真场景的可信度Ad hoc网络涉及计算机，通常是无线移动的节点（MN），它们在没有特定用户管理或配置的情况下合作形成网络。 换句话说，自组织联网允许MN的任意集合按需创建网络。有许多情况下，没有一个可用的网络基础设施，并可以受益于创建一个ad hoc网络：救援/紧急行动，执法活动，和tactical missiles.Research在移动的ad hoc网络（MANET）领域通常使用仿真，以模仿的外观或正在研究的MANET的特点;事实上，人们对单兵携带防空系统的了解，大部分都是通过模拟发现的。模拟研究包括几个步骤，为了获得可靠的结果，必须正确执行每个步骤。不幸的是，许多已完成的MANET仿真研究存在严重缺陷。 在许多情况下，模拟场景提供的环境不够严格，无法提供有意义的结果;在其他一些情况下，环境提供的压力比期望的更多。因此，已发表的MANET仿真研究普遍缺乏可信度。本计画的目的是提升移动自组网路模拟的可信度。这项工作的智力价值是开发工具和方法的MANET研究社区，将提高基于仿真的研究的可信度。这项工作的更广泛的影响是协助移动自组网社区从令人难以置信的仿真研究，可信的仿真研究。
