Discrete event network simulators are used to evaluate the performance of a variety of designs in the wireless communication field. They enable researchers to build new network protocols and architectures in a simplified and organized development environment with adherence to the fundamental software engineering principles. However, even though they embody different mathematical models to simulate wireless medium, it is still far from taking an excessive number of channel conditions that directly affect wireless communication into consideration. In this study, we integrate the interface of the software-defined radio (SDR) USRP B210 into the physical layer model of the discrete event simulator OMNeT++ to create an integrated SDR (iSDR) framework. iSDR opens the way to easily develop new network protocols using various OMNeT++ modules and run simulations in wireless medium via the SDR interfaces for realistic performance results. We present working principles of iSDR and discuss significant design issues to support complex simulation scenarios.

This thesis considers the real-time implementation phases of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The parts which are related to the implementation detail the blocks realized on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board and define the connections between these blocks and typical radio frequency front-end modules assisting the wireless communication. Two sides of the implemented communication testbed are discussed separately as the transmitter and the receiver parts. In a...
Cooperative relaying schemes for narrow-band frequency hopping wireless ad hoc networks
Yenihayat, Güven; Onat, Furuzan Atay; Kolaǧasioǧlu, Ertuǧrul; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2011-08-29)
Cooperative relaying is a promising technique for improving the performance of weak communication links in wireless networks by exploiting spatial diversity induced by relay transmissions. This paper considers cooperative relaying schemes for a narrow- band frequency hopping system. A novel hybrid relaying scheme called opportunistic hybrid relaying, which is specifically designed for this system, is presented. Unlike most relaying schemes in the literature, opportunistic hybrid relaying uses bandwidth effi...
Path verification in software-defined networks using programmable data planes
Bostan, Hakan; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-1)
Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) revamp the traditional network architectures by segregating the data plane and control plane and introducing a programmable and log- ically centralized control plane. Although SDNs bring along extensive improvements, as well as solutions to some of the network security problems, the security of SDN itself is often overlooked. Especially the security of the data plane is often overlooked because of the widespread assumption that the data plane devices are trusted. How- ever, ...
Multimedia communication in wireless sensor networks

The technological advances in Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and wireless communications have enabled the realization of wireless sensor networks (WSN) comprised of large number of low-cost, low-power multifunctional sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes communicate in short distances and collaboratively work toward fulfilling the application specific objectives of WSN. However, realization of wide range of envisioned WSN applications necessitates effective communication protocols which can address ...
INtERCEDE: An algorithmic approach to networked control system design

Networked Control Systems (NCS) are distributed control systems where the sensor signals to the controllers and the control data to the actuators are enclosed in messages and sent over a communication network. On the one hand, the design of an NCS requires ensuring the stability of the control system and achieving system response that is as close as possible to that of an ideal system which demands network resources. On the other hand, these resources are limited and have to be allocated efficiently to acco...
