Assessment  

Title

Implementation of Wireless networks and performance evaluation

Purpose of the  assessment  

(with ULO  Mapping)

The purpose of the assignment is to compare NS3 simulator with other current  network simulators. Developed, modify and study wireless routing protocols  performance with NS3 simulator. Design and implement Wireless Local Area  Network (WLAN) technology based on IEEE 802.11 standards to ensure efficient  and secure data transmission. 

Students will be able to complete the following ULOs: 

• Analyse and compare wireless communication protocols.  • Compare standard-based technologies used in various networks. • Test and evaluate various wireless networks performance.

Assignment Description 

This assignment consists of three tasks.  

Task 1 Study and analysis of different existing network simulation software tools. 

Task 2. Involving analysis and modification of current the NS3 lab exercises code.

 

Q1. Pick any two of the following network simulators, explore and analyze each network simulator and write a short comparative study report of them including NS3 simulator. • OPNET 

• OMNet++ 

• NetSim 

• Mininet 

• QualNet 

 

Q2. Write a Multihop Adhoc wireless networks program for simulating in the NS3 simulator. Name  the program as your group number. Use number of node 6 and Step 30 Meter in your program.  Also give name of the xml file as “Your Group name.xml.” Execute the program and execute  NetAnim for visualization the performance of your Multihop Adhoc program. Take a screen shot of  the created .xml file in NetAnim display. Screen shot of 6 packet captured files. Attach the code of  your program in the submission report. 

Q3. Case Study:  

ABC Hospital is seeking to implement a wireless solution for monitoring and receiving data from  patients residing within a 3km radius. The goal is to leverage Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)  technology based on IEEE 802.11 standards to ensure efficient and secure patient data  transmission. 

a) Design a wireless solution for supporting the above application using Wireless Local Area  Network (WLAN) technology. Design should include the conceptual WLAN architecture  based on IEEE 802.11 where a hospital can monitor and receive data from patients living  within a 3km radius. Explain and justify your answer with an appropriate diagram. 

b) Identify and explain a particular security attack that could breach patients’ personal data.  c) What prevention technique would you adopt to mitigate the effect of your choice of attack?
