Abstract

Emulation environments are an effective approach to experimenting with and evaluating network protocols, algorithms, and components. However, implementing a complete waveform for an emulation environment requires a significant effort. This paper describes two simplified approaches to implement and include a Synchronized Cooperative Broadcast (SCB) waveform within the Anglova scenario and the EMANE network emulation framework. The result is two different implementations of SCB, having different levels of abstraction regarding the specific details of SCB and offering different capabilities. The SCB implementations are tested and compared in the militarily-realistic Anglova scenario. The performance of SCB is also theoretically estimated within the Anglova scenario as a baseline for comparison purposes. The results show that the approaches taken to emulate SCB within EMANE and the Anglova scenario perform as expected when compared to the theoretical results.
