A simulation framework for performance evaluation and security research in multi-interface multi-channel networks (Unpublished thesis). Texas State University-San Marcos, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/11613In wireless networks, devices can be equipped with multiple interfaces to utilize multiple channels and increase the overall throughput of a network. Various channel assignment protocols have been developed to better utilize multiple channels and interfaces However, the research of channel assignment protocols is still lack of a good simulation tool that can content with a variety of requirements and specifications of channel assignment protocols. This thesis proposes MIMC-SIM, a generic simulation framework to study channel assignment protocols in multi-interface and multi-channel networks. The MIMC-SIM framework is built in OMNeT++ with INET and implements a new layer between the network layer and the MAC layer The MIMC-SIM framework has a novel structure which supports generic features and specific behaviors of channel assignment protocols It also provides a generic and flexible code structure for implementing channel assignment protocols.Text147 pages1 file (.pdf)enmultiple access protocolscomputer network protocolscomputer networksThesis
