The 2015 Workshop on ns-3 (WNS3 2015) is the seventh edition of an annual series of workshops around the discrete-event network simulator known as "ns-3". The workshop aims to gather ns-3 users and developers, together with networking simulation practitioners and users, and developers of other network simulation tools, to discuss the ns-3 simulator and related activities. ns-3 is a tool used for performance evaluation in computer networks, and this workshop offers a venue for those involved with extending or testing the tool itself to publish original work in this regard. Formally held in conjunction with the annual SIMUTools Conference, this edition marks the second year that the workshop has been sponsored by the ns-3 Consortium and organized as part of a full week of activities including also training sessions, the Consortium Annual Meeting, and developer discussions.

Automating ns-3 experimentation in multi-host scenarios
ns-3 is a flexible simulator whose capabilities go beyond running purely synthetic simulations in a local desktop. Due to its ability to run unmodified Linux applications and to exchange traffic with live networks, ns-3 can be combined with live hosts ...
Novel ns-3 model enabling simulation of electromagnetic wireless underground networks
Wireless Underground Networks (WUNs) have applications such as agriculture, border surveillance, maintenance of playing fields, and infrastructure monitoring. When designing a sensor network for one of these applications some of the sensors (...
An obstacle model implementation for evaluating radio shadowing with ns-3
Obstacles, such as buildings and trees, interfere with radio wave signal propagation by contributing fading and shadowing effects. To produce results that accurately reflect real-world topologies, models must address the radio-interfering conditions ...
Implementing clustering for vehicular ad-hoc networks in ns-3
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks are of great interest for secure, efficient and reliable communications, in the last years. In this paper, we firstly present an implementation of a VANET algorithm to form clusters in ns-3 simulation environment. We provide ...
Simulating large-scale airborne networks with ns-3
Large-scale airborne networks, which connect airborne nodes with high-bandwidth communication links are being actively pursued commercially. We propose utilizing thousands of operational passenger and cargo aircraft as the principal components of an ...
RoutesMobilityModel: easy realistic mobility simulation using external information services
The current implementation of ns-3 provides only synthetic mobility models that disregard the map where the nodes are moving, however, the study of vehicular ad-hoc networks requires the usage of more realistic mobility models. The usage of mobility ...
PHOLD performance of conservative synchronization methods for distributed simulation in ns-3
The scalability and runtime performance of large-scale discrete event network simulations has been improved previously by spreading processing effort across multiple processors, increasing the provided computational power while decreasing the wallclock ...
On predicting the performance characteristics of the ns-3 distributed simulator for scale-free internet models
An inquiry is made into whether or not it is possible to learn a performance characterization which can predict the best way to configure the simulator executive when performing a simulation using the ns-3 network simulator distributed across many CPUs. ...
Improving per processor memory use of ns-3 to enable large scale simulations
In this paper we describe enhancements to improve the scaling of the ns-3 simulator for large problem sizes. The ns-3 simulator has a parallel capability however the current implementation instantiates the entire network topology on all ranks (...
Pushing the envelope in distributed ns-3 simulations: one billion nodes
In this paper, we describe the results of simulation of very large (up to 109 nodes), planetary-scale networks using ns-3 simulator. The modeled networks consist of the small-world core graph of network routers and an equal number of the leaf nodes (one ...
Implementation and evaluation of licklider transmission protocol (LTP) in ns-3
This paper provides performance modeling and validation results for the the ns-3 model of the Licklider Transmission Protocol, the standard transport protocol used to provide transmission reliability in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). DTNs are an ...
Epidemic routing protocol implementation in ns-3
Routing protocols play a significant role in the overall performance of ad-hoc wireless networks. Several routing protocols have been proposed for ad hoc environments. Any new proposed protocol should be compared with other routing protocols to show its ...

An extension of the ns-3 LTE module to simulate fractional frequency reuse algorithms
We developed an extension for the LTE module of the ns-3 simulator in order to allow the simulation of Fractional Frequency Reuse algorithms and the evaluation of their performance in an LTE scenario. In this paper, we describe the technical components ...
Performance comparison of a custom emulation-based test environment against a real-world LTE testbed
Notwithstanding the value of Long Term Evolution (LTE) towards an improved user experience in next-generation networks, its associated high complexity is known to place computational and time burdens on testing tasks involving real-world platforms. ...
Implementation and validation of TCP options and congestion control algorithms for ns-3
Currently, the ns-3 network simulator include rather limited TCP functionalities. TCP Options are not supported, and it misses models for widely used congestion control algorithms. Thus, simulations can be inadequate for today's standards and unable to ...
Implementation of stateless transport protocols in ns-3
Development of transport protocols has received a great deal of attention of network research community at several past decades. One of the general directions of such an effort was to improve a congestion control mechanism of the TCP (Transmission ...
