Mobile Networking ❯ Bluetooth Simulation Support in ns-2

Overview

ns (Network Simulator) supports almost all variants of TCP, several forms of multicast, several ad-hoc routing protocols and wired/wireless LAN protocols. The research work involves development of Bluetooth modules as per the Bluetooth specification and integrating them with the ns simulator. The first phase of this project targets the Bluetooth LAN access profile and applications running atop of it. Understanding ns internals and the Bluetooth protocol stack is a key part of the project. A simulated network topology and scenario are described in the simulator input script which is a tcl script. IP based applications traces will be used to generate traffic and to drive the simulation and experiments.
