Abstract

Routing protocols are the focus in mobile opportunistic networks, and the simulation test is one of the effective ways to evaluate their performance. This paper presents a mobile opportunistic network simulator MONICA. It provides a programmable interface to users, which is easy to learn and easy to use. It also integrates eight classic routing algorithms, six caching strategies and two types of mobility models, so that users can make a more comprehensive evaluation of the routing protocol. In addition, MONICA can trace abnormal behaviors with the network event function and observe the real simulation process by the visual module. All of these guarantee the efficiency of the simulator in evaluating the routing performance.

Keywords: mobile opportunistic networks simulator routing protocol
