Mobility Framework for OMNeT++

IMPORTANT: The Mobility Framework is not actively maintained anymore. All the code got integrated in the project which should be used instead.

There is also a OMNeT++ 4.0 port of the Mobility Framework available on .

This framework is intended to support wireless and mobile simulations within . The core framework implements the support for node mobility, dynamic connection management and a wireless channel model. Additionally the core framework provides basic modules that can be derived in order to implement own modules. With this concept a programmer can easily develop own protocol implementations for the Mobility Framewoek (MF) without having to deal with the necessary interface and interoperability stuff.
The framework can be used for simulating:

• fixed wireless networks
• mobile wireless networks
• distributed (ad-hoc) and centralized networks
• sensor networks
• multichannel wireless networks
• many other simulations that need mobility support and / or a wireless interface

We are currently developing a library of standard protocols for the MF (802.11, AODV, ...). Our goal is to have a rich library of such protocols to enable easy plug-and-play simulations of various kinds of widely used protocols.

Documentation

The documentation for the Mobility Framework consists of the following parts:

• 
  The manual should be the first thing to start with. It explains the basic concept and also provides an example to start with. WARNING: The manual is NOT updated to Version 2 yet! The manual can be downloaded as or document as well.
• 
  The API Reference is a documentation generated form the c++ source code using . This is the best place for to look for references to c++ classes or functions.
• 
  The Neddoc reference is a documentation of all ned files generated with the opp_neddoc tool included in OMNeT++. It gives an overview about the implemented modules and networks.
• The Coding and Documentation Guide
  To make the MF easily extendable it is necessary to agree on some documentation guidelines and a common coding style. The following pages will give a brief introduction on Doxygen, Neddoc and some documentation and coding guidelines.

OMNeT++ ( Objective Modular Network Testbed in C++)是一个面向对象的模块化离散事件仿真工具。和NS-2一样，主要面向OSI模型，可以执行上千个节点的仿真。OMNeT++提供了图形化的网络编辑器和网络、数据流查看工具。仿真环境采用C++语言开发，并采用自定义的配置语言“NED”进行配置定义。OMNeT++的主要目标是提供可灵活配置仿真的组件体系。组件采用C++编程，并通过NED配置成更大的组件。OMNeT++在仿真802.11的MAC和Directed Diffusion协议时，比NS-2要决一个数量级.
