Many wireless network simulations used today make overly simplistic assumptions about the range, quality and uniform spread of wireless signals.
In addition, many only consider this problem in two dimensions, meaning that whilst simulations can be run and theories constructed, often no real comparison or application can be made to the real world.
This project intends to develop a more realistic view of wireless network simulation by first measuring the propagation characteristics and strength of wireless signals in a wide variety of environments, including 3D terrain, and through walls of differing materials.
These experimental results will be incorporated into a 3D landscape/topology description tool whose output will be consulted by a network protocol simulator when simulating signal propagation for wireless protocols.
It is hoped that by providing a set of data, properties and algorithms for wireless signal propagation constructed from the real world, future simulations can more closely reflect the behavior of wireless equipment in reality.
