Abstract

The simulation of powerline communication (PLC) networks with larger numbers of nodes and with different channel conditions is essential for the development of the respective protocols, especially regarding medium access and network layer strategies. However, creating realistic models for network simulations is a complex process and demands high resources. Therefore, emulation and testbeds have been a necessary addition for testing and verification. In this paper, we propose a solution that brings both approaches closer together. Via the direct code execution (DCE) framework of the network simulator 3 (ns-3) project, we show how the machine code from real devices can be run within the network simulator, thus making it unnecessary to model the PLC protocol in another instance, namely the simulator. We will show results for the DLC®-3000 Single Frequency Network (SFN) PLC protocol and a proof of concept, that the same code performs on real PLC devices as well as within the simulator.

适用于DLC®-3000 SFN的电力线协议的直接代码执行网络仿真

具有较大节点数和不同信道条件的电力线通信(PLC)网络的仿真对于相应协议的开发，特别是关于介质接入和网络层策略的开发至关重要。然而，为网络仿真创建逼真的模型是一个复杂的过程，需要大量的资源。因此，仿真和试验台已成为测试和验证的必要补充。在本文中，我们提出了一种将这两种方法更紧密地结合在一起的解决方案。通过网络模拟器3 (ns-3)项目的直接代码执行(DCE)框架，我们展示了如何在网络模拟器中运行来自真实设备的机器码，从而无需在另一个实例(即模拟器)中对PLC协议进行建模。我们将展示DLC®-3000单频网络(SFN) PLC协议的结果和概念证明，相同的代码在真实的PLC设备和模拟器中执行。
