Mobility Framework for OMNeT++

IMPORTANT: The Mobility Framework is not actively maintained anymore. All the code got integrated in the MiXiM project which should be used instead.

There is also a OMNeT++ 4.0 port of the Mobility Framework available on github.

This framework is intended to support wireless and mobile simulations within OMNeT++. The core framework implements the support for node mobility, dynamic connection management and a wireless channel model. Additionally the core framework provides basic modules that can be derived in order to implement own modules. With this concept a programmer can easily develop own protocol implementations for the Mobility Framewoek (MF) without having to deal with the necessary interface and interoperability stuff.
The framework can be used for simulating:

• fixed wireless networks
• mobile wireless networks
• distributed (ad-hoc) and centralized networks
• sensor networks
• multichannel wireless networks
• many other simulations that need mobility support and / or a wireless interface

We are currently developing a library of standard protocols for the MF (802.11, AODV, ...). Our goal is to have a rich library of such protocols to enable easy plug-and-play simulations of various kinds of widely used protocols.

Documentation

The documentation for the Mobility Framework consists of the following parts:

• The Manual
  The manual should be the first thing to start with. It explains the basic concept and also provides an example to start with. WARNING: The manual is NOT updated to Version 2 yet! The manual can be downloaded as pdf or ps document as well.
• The API Reference
  The API Reference is a documentation generated form the c++ source code using doxygen. This is the best place for to look for references to c++ classes or functions.
• The Neddoc Reference
  The Neddoc reference is a documentation of all ned files generated with the opp_neddoc tool included in OMNeT++. It gives an overview about the implemented modules and networks.
• The Coding and Documentation Guide
  To make the MF easily extendable it is necessary to agree on some documentation guidelines and a common coding style. The following pages will give a brief introduction on Doxygen, Neddoc and some documentation and coding guidelines.
  • Documentation Guidelines
  • Module Groups
  • Coding Guidelines
  • OMNeT++ Coding Conventions / Style Guide
