Key benefits

  • Explore network simulation for development, testing, and evaluation activities
  • Understand the key building blocks of simulation and evaluate network topologies
  • Learn how to set up and evaluate wired, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), and 4G LTE networks

Description

Network simulation is a powerful technique that uses software programs to replicate the behaviors of real networks. Network simulators are programs that can predict the performance of computer networks or wireless communication networks. This book is your hands-on guide to ns-3, a script-based simulator that allows for learning, experimenting, and evaluating wired, wireless (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), and 4G long-term evolution (LTE) networks quickly and at low cost. You’ll begin by learning how to install and use ns-3, along with exploring its key features such as building blocks for creating a variety of wired or wireless network topologies, installing suitable protocols and applications, identifying and resolving networking issues, and systematically evaluating network performance. As you make progress, you’ll gain a clear understanding of simulation errors, exceptions, and abrupt events. You’ll also discover how to set up and evaluate Ethernet, Wi-Fi (802.11n/ac/ax) LANs, ad-hoc, and LTE networks. The concluding chapters discuss LTE advanced topics such as capacity planning, site surveys, radio resources, mobility management, and interference handling. By the end of this simulation book, you’ll be able to use ns-3 to implement, analyze, debug, and evaluate the performance of wired or wireless networks, as well as setting up custom test scenarios.

Who is this book for?

This book is primarily for network engineers, networking researchers, and undergraduates. Postgraduate students, researchers, and professors interested in network simulations will also find this book useful. A basic understanding of network simulation technology will be helpful in grasping the topics present in this book.

What you will learn

This book has step by step procedure of creating simple and complex network topologies using ns3. It is very much useful for beginners, researchers working on WLANS and LTE networksCan recommend this book for B Tech students in their labs as these experiments helps them learn and understand how to configure a network topology in ns3.

I congratulate Dr. Anil Kumar Rangisetti for writing this valuable book on the Advanced Network Simulations. The book organized into 9 chapters covers almost all the topics ranging from fundamentals to the state-of-the-art in the wired and wireless networks. The author has nicely blended the theory and the practical with a lucid and easily understandable writing style.In this book, the author begins with introduction to network simulator-3 (ns-3), discusses various debugging techniques, ns-3 based simulations for wired (CSMA/P2P) and wireless (WiFi LANs, Advanced WiFi) networks and 4G network simulations. Interestingly, both the concept and the simulations are prefixed with figures which gives visual clarity in understanding the network topology and its internal working. The step-by-step instructions (with terminal snapshots) to setup the ns-2 and configure different networks would help amateurs avoid initial hiccups thereby boosting the learning excitement in the area. Moreover, it is a commendable effort to showcase practical simulations on the advanced topics with insights presented that would motivate the research fraternity in the domain . I strongly recommend the Institutes and researchers working in the networking area to have a copy of this book for the benefit of students.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
