Key Capabilities of QualNet Models
  • Mobile ad-hoc network models enable modeling of existing installed network infrastructure from every major program, legacy or future, and protocol/device standard
  • Detailed wireless models including fading, signal-to-noise interference, path loss, terrain, modulation, mobility, and antennas allow modeling of highly detailed phenomena, such as the banking of an airplane and how it affects on-board routers
  • Terrain models including TIREM, DTED, and DEM means QualNet is able to source terrain from most COTS vendors including indoor, urban, suburban, and forested.
  • Detailed models with parameters such as signal power levels, data rates, routing protocols, antenna weighting, link scheduling, and scalability enable identification and correction of weak performance in specific network components
  • Quality of Service modeling capabilities for multimedia and mission-critical applications enables incremental “what if” scenario testing to identify specific conditions that threaten service level performance
  • Models for sensor networks, urban terrain, and directional antennas support new network-centric war doctrines and battle plans by matching conditions in specific battle fronts during the network design phase

QualNet Model Libraries greatly extend the base capabilities of QualNet. All Libraries are available for sequential and parallel platforms.

  • Developer Library, included with QualNet Developer, for modeling a large variety of networks, including WANs, LANs, IPv6, abstract satellite, etc.,
  • Wireless Library, included with QualNet Developer, for 802.11a/b/g and mobile ad-hoc networks,
  • Multimedia and Enterprise Library, included with QualNet Developer, for modeling VOIP, queueing, scheduling, MPLS, and other Quality of Service capabilities,
  • Advanced Wireless Library for 802.16 and 802.16e, also known as WiMAX,
  • Sensor Networks Library for 802.15.4 networks, also known as Zigbee,
  • Cellular Library for modeling GSM cellular networks including UMTS†
  • Information Assurance / Network Security Library for modeling networks with encryption, authentication, security keys, certificates, as well as attackers and eavesdroppers,
  • Standard Interfaces Library ** for integrating QualNet to a number of complimentary simulators via HLA or DIS.
  • Network Emulation Library for hardware-, software-, and human-in-the-loop,
  • Satellite Library for modeling satellites and ground nodes.
  • Propagation Library: ALE/ASAPS for modeling the ALE military radio and propagation effects
  • Propation Library: TIREM‡ for terrain and propagation effects based on the Terrain Integrated Rough Earth Model, and
  • Propation Library: Urban for urban and suburban pathloss and terrain effects.

 

** These libraries require code from a third party.
† UMTS model available June 2008.
