Abstract
This paper presents an analytical performance study of a parallel simulation testbed for PCS networks, called Simulator of Wireless Mobile Networks (SWiMNet), and reports experimental results obtained using a realistic model executed on a cluster of workstations. SWiMNet achieves linear speedup, thereby significantly reducing the execution time of a PCS network simulation. Performance results demonstrate that our simulation model is consistent with the analytical study.
