Modelling a Jammer with Omnet++


Is there a reference or a tutorial to simulate a generic transmitter in Omnet++ that transmits noise on a particular frequency? Basically, it is just a simple jammer that disturb the channel by sending random noise (no MAC layer, no Network layer, nothing).


Solution

  • Yes, there is the NoiseSource module that does this. It is available since INET 4.2:

    https://github.com/inet-framework/inet/blob/v4.3.3/src/inet/physicallayer/wireless/noise/NoiseSource.ned

    This showcase has more info:

    In order to solve this problem, you need to install Omnet, and install manually Inet by cloning the repository from GitHub: https://github.com/inet-framework/inet.
