为了有效支持节点装备多天线的无线自组织网络的跨层协议设计。利用基于空分复用技术的物理层和接入层联合网络容量分析模型扩展NS2,构造了一个通用仿真平台,使其支持网络跨层空分复用接入协议。理论分析与仿真结果表明扩展后的NS2能够有效支持空分复用跨层协议设计。仿真证明对节点装备多天线的网络进行特别的跨层联合协议设计能够有效提高网络吞吐。
In order to support cross-layer protocol design of Ad Hoc networks equipped with multiantennas, an analytical model consisted with both PHY and MAC layer based on spatial multiplexing was proposed Using this model, NS2, a general-purpose platform was developed, so that it could simulate cross-layer designed MAC protocol based on spatial multiplexing. Results of theory analysis and simulation show that the modified version of NS2 works well. Simulation results also confirm that, for Ad Hoc networks whose nodes equipping multi-antennas, specific cross-layer protocol design is an efficient method to improve network throughput.
