Simulation

To fully understand and validate our proposed architecture, we implement our design in GloMoSim V2.03, a popular wireless network simulator. GloMoSim was developed as a modular library of components that contribute to an extensible, robust, and dynamic simulation of wireless networks. By isolating nodes' communication layers into independent modules, GloMoSim allows researchers to ``plug and play'' different protocols (i.e. protocols that they develop and implement) without concern for the inner workings of other architectural layers. The simulation environment allows us to apply our modules to the problem of event tracking. Specifically, by simulating event tracking in GloMoSim using our EMM and ECM modules, we are able to analyze the effects of architectural parameters on performance and understand how our architecture can be tuned to solve real world tracking problems.
