Status of “Sim” Ad Hoc Group
Primary focus on Framework
Collection of simulations, matrics, and MAC models to promote Apples to Apples comparison of proposals
Forum for people doing simulations to communicate with others doing simulations

Where to find Models
OPNET Models available on FTP site
Address is:
Username: Password: wlan
Note that OPNET’s current Release (DEC00) is not consistent with Framework Software
Still working of OPNET’s October Models
NS Software Can be found at:

Framework Status
Very little change since Nov ‘00
Minor changes to MPEG model
MAC with PHY models added
Group has been focusing on coding proposals
Few participant using Framework
Most individuals creating their own scenarios and metrics
Key DCF participants have defined one common scenario (1/11/01)
Not currently part of Framework
Little update to Scenarios since Nov ‘00
TI Model 3 Update
No attempts to update Metrics or Criteria
IEEE /196r2 stands

7. Open Issues Not many of the proposers are using the Framework

Open Issues
Not many of the proposers are using the Framework
Use of Framework was always encouraged, not mandated,
Need to consider how to get more people using scenarios / metrics in framework
Need to consider how to get people to maintain and enhance existing framework
None of the simulation models have undergone formal validation
Need validation approach
Open for suggestions
