项目摘要

The open source network simulation (ns-3) tool is used widely by researchers to evaluate the performance of computer networks. Over the past decade, user demand for new ns-3 capabilities has centered on simulating rapidly emerging wireless networking technologies including Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular systems. New capabilities are essential for exploration of emerging 5th Generation (5G) cellular network technologies.This project seeks to 1) extend the core wireless capabilities of ns-3, positioning the simulator as the research tool of choice for 5G wireless network simulations; 2) improve usability and create new educational/training materials; and 3) better align ns-3 with experiments on wireless network test-beds. The latter project goal is expected to contribute to recently announced National Science Foundation-funded Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) city-scale advanced wireless infrastructure testbeds. New wireless technology coexistence scenarios for heterogeneous networks as well as the ongoing challenge of scaling due to network densification are main research thrusts for this effort. In addition, a key project goal is improving usability and development of new ns-3 educational material to ease adoption of these new modules (and ns-3 broadly) by the next generation of users. The project extends an existing collaboration between investigators at the University of Washington and the Centre Technologic Telecomunicacions Catalunya (CTTC Barcelona).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

研究人员广泛使用开源网络仿真（NS-3）工具来评估计算机网络的性能。在过去的十年中，用户对新的NS-3功能的需求集中在模拟快速新兴的无线网络技术，包括无线保真度（WIFI）和长期演化（LTE）蜂窝系统。新功能对于探索新兴第五代（5G）蜂窝网络技术至关重要。该项目寻求1）扩展NS-3的核心无线功能，将模拟器定位为5G无线网络模拟的首选研究工具； 2）提高可用性并创建新的教育/培训材料； 3）更好地对齐NS-3与无线网络测试床的实验。后一个项目的目标有望为最近宣布的国家科学基金会资助的高级无线研究平台（PAWR）城市规模的高级无线基础设施测试台做出贡献。新的无线技术共存方案，用于异质网络以及由于网络致密化引起的扩展挑战是这项工作的主要研究障碍。此外，一个关键的项目目标是提高新的NS-3教育材料的可用性和开发，以通过下一代用户来简化这些新模块（以及NS-3）的采用。该项目扩展了华盛顿大学的调查人员与中心技术电信Catalunya（CTTC Barcelona）之间的现有合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来评估值得通过评估来支持的。
