  3. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION • Wireless communication became more popular recently . • radio communication need careful planning . • Hardware in wireless networks is expensive so must optimally . • simulations needed to test the planned network layout. • Mobility simulation is kind of simulation show network performance and mobile behavior . • Mobility simulation is an effective way of determining the capacity and the quality of wireless network . • Simulator objective study different traffic load and mobility patterns UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  4. GSM and UMTS simulator allow us to evaluate the performance of new services. • The simulator use propagation simulation results and terrain data to produce capacity and performance of GSM and UMTS networks. UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  5. Simulation objective UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  6. Wireless Networks • Transition from analogue to digital growth in wireless network . • GSM support voice and low speed data traffic . • Growing demand in higher data rates and new services causes focus on third-generation systems. • UMTS handle various service demands , supplying the mobile users, high bandwidth. • Factors of efficiency of a wireless system bandwidth utilization cost of the system Interference in the network UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  7. Network Simulators and Mobility • capacity and performance of GSM , UMTS network enable us to estimate the infrastructure requirements that expected offered traffic. GSM infrastructure requirements radio link bandwidth. base-station tower heights number of base stations UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  8. Estimation of capacity and performance hard by analytical techniques . • Due to the inflexibility of the analytical methods so network simulators are used. There are two basic types of network simulators : UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  9. DIFFERANCE • static simulator • Dynamic simulators • proportion of mobiles is successfully served by wireless system. • Repeated number of times . • mobile location randomly changed and network performance values are updated. • there is no time concept . no time correlation between the simulation steps • do not handle system functionalities like handover . • static simulations converge faster than dynamic ones . • handle non-homogenous base station layouts . • Handle realistic propagation data . • Handle non-homogenous traffic distribution. • enable us to study dynamic properties of wireless networks . • Handle handover and admission control . UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  10. DIFFERENCE • long-term , short-term differentiated by their timescales of simulation . • both include functions like admission control, handover control and call dropping . • If our interest capacity or performance long-term simulations will satisfy our needs. • controls like time-slot selection, packet scheduling or fast cell selection are handled in short-term dynamic . • short-term dynamicsimulators are working in micro- timescales. • disadvantage of short-term simulations is their complexity and long running times . • short-term dynamicaccessing the system with in very short time scales. • One of the best-known dynamic network is NS (Network Simulator) . UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  11. NS is a powerful network simulator that has the ability of simulating number of different network schemes . • No specific module related to GSM and UMTS wireless systems in NS. • NS (NS is an open source software) simulate GSM and UMTS but NS characteristics are not appropriate for these system level simulations . • long-term dynamic approach is used to simulate the two wireless networks, GSM and UMTS . • Instead of using the term “long-term dynamic simulator”, “mobility simulator”. • mobility generation is explicitly modeled in order to create a realistic dynamic simulator. • In order to generate random paths for mobile users, path-finding problem must be solved. • In order to generate realistic mobility patterns for the mobiles in the simulation, a fast mobility generation algorithm is developed. UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  12. CHAPTER 2 MOBILITY SIMULATION • DIFFERENCEmobile networks , conventional fixed networks : • the calling and called subscriber is not associated with a fixed geographical location. • Mobility simulation is a dynamic network simulation focuses on the effects of the user-mobility to the network’s performance and capacity. • The inputs are the planning data . • the outputs are the network performance and capacity . Simulator has inputs and outputs : NETWORK PLANNING OUTPUTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR ESTIMATED CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE RESULTS UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  13. mobile users are categorized into two : • After the speeds are assigned to the users, the movement paths must be generated. • Path-finding algorithms solve the problem of choosing an appropriate way to destination. • At the beginning of the simulation , the mobile units are randomly dispersed over the simulation area. • they choose a random destination point in the simulation grid and start to move to reach to the destination. UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  14. Data Needed for a Mobility Simulation • Mobility simulator simulates a planned network layout. Network layout Population in the service area . Building data . Places of the base stations . Channel assignments to the base stations . Propagation simulation results (Coverage data) . Traffic profiles of the mobile users . UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  15. Number of mobile users in the simulation is decided by using the population information in the service area. • Simulated environment has buildings . • Building map is converted to a grid, where each grid element is 5m to 5m square. Index:2,2 Index:0,0 Building model Building text file • Distance between two consecutive grid points is defined by the metric resolution (5m in this example). UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  16. Places of the base stations and the channel assignment to those base stations are discovered from traffic analyses. • mobility simulator needs propagation simulation results . • Propagation simulation results also called coverage data . Coverage view Coverage file • Only outdoor propagation simulation is used . UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  17. Mobility Generation • The core functionality of a mobility simulator is mobility generation . • Problem of choosing an appropriate path to the destination is called path finding. • These two cases of path finding : Simple path finding vs. path finding with buildings • path-finding problem is easy to solve . • if there are buildings in the simulation area so path-finding problem is diffecult UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  18. Graph-based and Step-taking Path Finding • Path finding is the process, which is used to route the mobile through the simulation grid. • Simple algorithms of path finding can cause looping routes so they are ineffective. • Effects of simplistic path finding algorithms are degraded by graph-based and step-taking path finding algorithms. • Simulation area is converted to a grid. There are two types of grid points, free and building grid points. • In this mobility simulator, there is no need for a shortest path for the mobile units . • path-finding problem in the mobility must find a path between any two points in the simulation grid. UMTS MOBILITY SIMULATOR

  19. The step-taking algorithm developed within this thesis is as follows: • 1. While (not at the goal) • { • 2. Pick a direction to move toward the goal • 3. If (that direction is clear for movement) move there • 4. Else (pick another direction according to an avoidance strategy) • } • The mobile user saves the movement it made during the previous steps and uses this information to avoid loops at simulation . • This behavior is supplied by the history information of the path of that mobile.
