Hypatia makes use of ns-3 to simulate the satellite networks at packet-level granularity. It builds upon two ns-3 modules:
-
satellite: Satellite movement calculation using SGP-4. This module is used by Hypatia to calculate the channel delay for each packet which traverses either a GSl or ISL. It was written by Pedro Silva at INESC-TEC. It can be found at:https://gitlab.inesctec.pt/pmms/ns3-satellite
A copy of it is included in this repository with minor modifications. It is located at: simulator/src/satellite
-
basic-sim: Simulation framework to make e.g., running end-to-end TCP flows more easier. It can be found at:https://github.com/snkas/basic-sim
It is added as git submodule (commit: 3b32597) at: simulator/contrib/basic-sim
The git submodule refers to:
https://github.com/snkas/basic-sim/tree/3b32597c183e1039be7f0bede17d36d354696776
