NCTUns Simulation model for IEEE 802.16j Mobile multi hop Relay (MMR) WIMAX networks

Abstract

IEEE 802.16j Mobile multi hop relay (MMR) network was approved in the year 2009, by the IEEE 802.16 working committee. In IEEE 802.16j Relay station with same capacity as that of Base station is used to extend the coverage area of base station or used to increase the Throughput capacity of base station.

In this paper we have given a simulation model for IEEE 802.16j MMR networks using the NCTUns -6.0 network simulator. The simulation model can be used for carry out IEEE 802.16j WiMAX simulations. The NCTUns network simulator is an open source simulator, and it used real time data to carry out the simulation. NCTUns uses a distributed architecture to support remote and concurrent simulations. The NCTUns has 8 components such as GUI, simulation engine, dispatcher, coordinator, kernel level modification, User level demean, parallel simulations for carry out IEEE 802.16j MMR network simulation.

Key-Words: - Relay modes, IEEE 802.16j, NCTUns-6.0, transparent mode, non-transparent mode, etc
