Abstract

Network simulators play a fundamental role in the development of new wireless technologies, as they provide a cost-effective and controlled environment for simulating the behavior of real networks. However, many network simulators, such as ns-3, are limited in their ability to simulate indoor scenarios because they are built on statistical and stochastic models that fail to realistically reproduce physical effects such as multipath propagation of wireless signals. In this thesis, a ray tracing based model was developed using Sionna and integrated into the ns-3 network simulator. It enables the precise simulation of wireless signal propagation in specific 3D environments. In addition, a mobility model was developed that accurately models the movement of devices in the simulated 3D environment. The results show that the proposed model calculates more realistic estimates of path loss for indoor transmission compared to existing ns-3 propagation models, especially in terms of their spatial and time correlation. The developed model significantly improves the accuracy of indoor simulations and thus provides a basis for the development of wireless technologies especially for indoor applications.
