Research abstract
Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) proposes a model based simulation approach to simulate the effect of complex terrain, radio transmission, and interference in network performance. The main technical difficulty in developing such a simulation environment is the complex computational tasks that each node needs to take in order to simulate the physical layer. Therefore, unless we statistically model: 1- the effect of complex terrain and its changes in the channel impulse response (CIR), 2- the effect of CIR in the bit error rate (BER) of the received signal, and 3- interference sources, then building even a small-to-medium size wireless network simulator that accurately models the physical layer is impossible.
