27 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Roles within the Radio Model IReceptionModel: implements the Propagation model and all that is required to calculate the reception of a packet. Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 9/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

28 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Roles within the Radio Model IRadioModel: implements the methods to know whether a packet is correctly decoded or not. Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 9/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

29 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Roles within the Radio Model AbstractRadio: implements the basic functions of a radio device integrating the IReceptionModel and the IRadioModel. Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 9/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

30 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Roles within the Radio Model ChannelAccess: defines the interaction with the channel model and implements the way to send a frame over a radio channel. Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 9/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

31 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Roles within the Radio Model ChannelController: implements the radio channels abstraction and provides all the needed functionality to calculate the SNR from a node (by means of an accountability of packets in the air), neighbors (connectivity graph) and nodes positions (radios in fact). Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 9/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

32 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Contracts between classes defined by the Radio Model ChannelController should provide all the required information to: calculate the SNR at any node, get the node s position, calculate the connectivity graph and detect collisions. Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 10/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

33 Status of the INET/INETMANET Model Contracts between classes defined by the Radio Model ChannelAccess should rely only on the the ChannelController to determine to which nodes (radios) a frame must be sent (nodes on the same channel). Figure: (Very) Simplified Class Diagram of INET/INETMANET radio model 10/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

37 Proposed Extended Radio Model The Antenna Pattern and the Link Budget New class interface proposed: IAntennaPattern assuming the role of delivering the antenna gain given a direction of communication (angle). When transmitting a frame, effective transmission power is based on the equation: P effective = P nominal + G txangle (2) When receiving a frame, the Link Budget calculation is based on the equation: P rx = P effective PL + G rxangle (3) Remainder: each airframe carries the transmission power (effective, considering antenna gain) and the node s position where the frame was sent. 11/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

38 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model AbstractRadio will use the IAntennaPattern to calculate the gain given the angle of transmission/reception. Antenna gain will vary according to the orientation angle θ. 12/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

39 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model IAntennaPattern will use the pie-wedge model to represent main lobe and side/back lobes. Side/back lobes are represented by an unity-gain circular pattern. The analytical curve (original pattern) will be scaled to fit it to the maximum gain (G m ) 13/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

40 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model The scaling of the original pattern (main and side/back lobes) are normalized to the maximum gain (radio parameter) and to fit the curve to the required beamwidth. 14/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

41 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model Some patterns represented by this model are (a) Omni-directional 15/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

42 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model Some patterns represented by this model are (a) Omni-directional (b) Folium 15/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

43 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model Some patterns represented by this model are (a) Omni-directional (b) Folium (c) Cardioid 15/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

44 Proposed Extended Radio Model Directional Radio Model Some patterns represented by this model are (a) Omni-directional (b) Folium (c) Cardioid (d) Rose 15/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

45 Model Implementation How to implement the proposed radio model? How to Do it?? 16/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

46 Model Implementation How to implement the proposed radio model? How to Do it?? Current Status of INET/INETMANET asummes symmetry on the communication First, we need to support Asymmetrical communication. Specially, each radio need to decide its own connectivity graph. Second, add the required elements to represent an antenna pattern. 16/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

47 Model Implementation Problems to address Two methods calculating the RF Propagation. One in the ChannelController, to determine the connectivity graph (neighbors) and one in the IReceptionModel to calculate the reception power when a frame is received. No Single Role assigned for Propagation Model (not completely true). ChannelController assumes symmetry when calculating the neighbors list. If you can hear me, I can hear you. There is no responsibility assigned on the Link Budget calculation. Misassigned responsibility of the neighbors calculation. Currently assigned to the ChannelController. It should be responsibility of each radio. 17/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

48 Model Implementation Asymmetrical Communications Support Neighbors lists are no longer only ChannelController s resposability. A new contract is created between the AbstractRadio and the ChannelController to allow the AbstractRadio to tell the ChannelController when a node isincoveragearea. New Role for the IReceptionModel (supplanting the missing IPropagationModel) to calculate the interferencedistance and the received power given by using a any propagation model. A class interface called IAntennaPattern was added, providing the antenna pattern calculation interface. Link Budget separation implemented in the AbstractRadio. New contract created between the AbstractRadio, the IReceptionModel and the the IAntennaPattern to determine the Link Budget when transmitting and receiving a frame. 18/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

49 Model Implementation Impact of these changes Requirement every neighbors lists, for every node in the simulation playground, must be updated when a node moves. For Symmetrical Model: From the perspective when a single host moves: getneighbors complexity: O(m n) When updating every nodes position in a single time-step: getneighbors complexity: O(m n) Because symmetry is assumed, if you are my neighbor, I am your neighbor. m = number of radios, n = number of hosts 19/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

50 Model Implementation Neighbors Lists calculation Analysis Requirement every neighbors lists, for every node in the simulation playground, must be updated when a node moves or transmits a frame. For Asymmetrical Model: From the perspective when a single host moves: getneighbors complexity: O(m n) When updating every nodes position in a single time-step: getneighbors complexity: O(2 m n) Due to the asymmetry, if you are my neighbor, I am not necesarily your neighbor, so we need to update all the nodes. m = number of radios, n = number of hosts 20/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

51 Model Implementation Neighbors Lists calculation Analysis Discussion As the getneigbors complexity is higher, and we call this method more often (now, not only when a node moves, but when moves or transmits), the overall execution time is be higher, but how much? Execution time will depend more hardly on the amount of transmitted packets. Not even think on the amount of nodes!!! The exact bound is not clear (or not easy to find) 21/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

52 Model Implementation Neighbors Lists calculation Analysis Discussion As the getneigbors complexity is higher, and we call this method more often (now, not only when a node moves, but when moves or transmits), the overall execution time is be higher, but how much? Execution time will depend more hardly on the amount of transmitted packets. Not even think on the amount of nodes!!! The exact bound is not clear (or not easy to find) So, a new strategy to calculate the neighbors lists is required to overcome the increment of the execution time. 21/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

53 Model Implementation The NeighborsGraph Algorithm Inspired on a Sparse Matrix. Returns the neighbors list and the list of nodes to be updated (invalidate list). Real Coverage Area C r represented by a Squared Coverage Area C s. Axes are Red-Black Trees. Four directions to evaluate: X-left, Y-right, X-right, Y-left. Just nodes within C s are evaluated to know if they are within C r also. 22/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

54 Model Implementation The NeighborsGraph Algorithm The NeighborsGraph will determine which nodes are in the node s neighbors list and which other nodes need to be updated (due the node s movement). The Algorithm inside the packet delivery process. Is my neighbors list invalidated? neighborsgraph(mylist,toupdate) node toupdate invalidate the list. The Algorithm inside mobility. Is my former position different to my current one? neighborsgraph(mylist,toupdate) node toupdate invalidate the list. 23/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

65 Conclusions An extended Radio Model has been proposed to INET/INETMANET Frameworks. Support of asymmetrical communications. Support any shape of antenna (implemented: Circular, Folium, Cardioid, Rose) Simulated results have been compared agains the literature, finding similar results. So, the proposed model seems to work properly. The increment of the computational cost when including asymmetrical communications have been reasonably reduced by introducing the NeighborGraph algorithm to calculate the connectivity graph. 32/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools

66 Conclusions Continuation Open issues: Accuracy of the antenna gain in the 2D plane. Mapping techniques? The use of multicore to speed-up the calculation of the connectivity graph. Parallel NeighborGraph Algorithm? Further work: Implement more Antenna Patterns. Improve the NeighborGraph Algorithm. Improve the Interference model to obtain a irregular (and time changing) coverage area. 33/33 Paula Uribe, Juan-Carlos Maureira, Olivier Dalle March, 19th OMNeT++ WS/SIMUTools
