Projects/Simulators VANET
Broadcast Protocol (William Bjorndahl, Roberto Ventura,
and Gustavo Vejarano, 2022)
The is a multi-hop broadcast algorithm implemented in Network
Simulator 3 that enables vehicles to estimate the traffic level
within their two-hop neighborhood and use routing metrics
selectively depending on the measured traffic level with the
goal of increasing the speed that the broadcast message
propagates along the road.
WIMU Motion
Capture (Dai Meng and Gustavo
Vejarano, 2013)
WIMU Motion Capture is a system that measures joint angles
of the human body using a wireless sensor network of Shimmer IMU
nodes. The principle of operation is based on measurements of
the alignments of the different limb segments with the earth's
gravity and magnetic fields.
WiMAX-RBDS-Sim (Gustavo Vejarano and Janise
McNair, 2010)
WiMAX-RBDS-Sim is a simulation model for IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX)
wireless mesh networks with distributed scheduling for the OPNET Modeler.
It provides a framework for the evaluation of reservation-based
distributed scheduling (RBDS) policies at the medium access
control (MAC) layer. It provides interfaces for the integration
of RBDS policies and link-establishment algorithms.
cdma2000-UV
Simulator (Gustavo
Vejarano and Fabio Guerrero, 2005)
The cdma2000-UV simulator is a MATLAB implementation of
the physical layer of the mobile commuciation technology
cdma2000 1X. The simulator estimates the performance of
transmissions between the user's mobile device and a cdma2000 1X
base station under several test environments such as outdoor to
indoor data transmissions and outdoor transmissions from users
in a moving vehicle.
