WiPPET, a virtual testbed for parallel simulations of wireless networks

We describe the TED/C++ implementation of WIPPET, a parallel simulation testbed for evaluating radio resource management algorithms and wireless transport protocols. Versions 0.3 and 0.4 of the testbed model radio propagation (long- and short-scale fading and interference) and protocols for integrated radio resource management in mobile wireless voice networks including the standards based AMPS, NA-TDMA and GSM protocols, and several research oriented protocol families. We provide parallel performance data verifying that the dominant computational demand due to received signal quality calculation can be partitioned geographically by orthogonal radio channels, or in a hybrid manner.
