Title: Systematic comparison of existing simulation frameworks for IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards
Subject: Computer network engineering, Computer science, Embedded systems, Robotics
Level: Advanced
Description: IEEE Time-sensitive networking (TSN) standards are the extension of the IEEE ethernet standards to support high-bandwidth and low-latency real-time communication. TSN standards are promising solutions to be applied in various real-time domains such as automotive, industrial and etc. Designing dependable real-time networks based on TSN standards requires various analysis must be performed, in terms of behavior, timing and scheduling.
Various TSN simulation frameworks exist for this purpose based on different platforms, namely OMNeT++, OPNET, etc. Most of the openly available simulation tools in academia are still under development, hence might support limited TSN features. The aim of this thesis to survey the existing TSN simulation frameworks in order to provide an outlook of the current capabilities, limitations and challenges of simulation frameworks to researchers. The goal is in summary include:
• Study and review the existing simulation tools for TSN
• Classification of the simulation approaches based on aspects, such as network modeling, the extent of automation, simulation approach (time/event triggered), batch execution, results recording, visualization, etc.
• Comparison of simulation procedure in two arbitrary simulation frameworks by a use-case
