How to Implement Deep Learning based Routing in OMNeT++

To implement the deep learning-based routing in OMNeT++ which is an advanced task encompasses incorporating a deep learning model with the OMNeT++ simulation environment. It is specifically helpful for networks in which the traditional routing algorithms may be sufficient like when in highly dynamic or difficult network environment like mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) or vehicular networks. Follow the provided steps to accomplish it in OMNeT++:

Steps to Implement Deep Learning-Based Routing in OMNeT++

  1. Install OMNeT++, INET, and Deep Learning Framework:
    • Make certain OMNeT++ and the INET framework are installed. Furthermore, you’ll need a deep learning framework like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras to train and run the deep learning models.
    • For incorporating with OMNeT++, Python is usually used with OMNeT++’s external interfaces.
  2. Define Network Topology:
    • State the network topology in a .ned file. This contains the different nodes and their connections.
  3. Train a Deep Learning Model:
    • Use preferred deep learning framework to build and train a deep learning model. The model can be trained offline using network data (e.g., traffic patterns, node mobility) to forecast the best routing decisions.
    • Save the trained model so that it can be loaded and used during the OMNeT++ simulation.
  4. Implement an Interface to the Deep Learning Model:
    • In OMNeT++, generate an interface to load the trained deep learning model and use it for making routing decisions.
    • This can be accomplish by writing a Python script that loads the model and communicates with OMNeT++ via OMNeT++’s external interfaces (such as cSimpleModule in C++ or a Python module).
  5. Integrate the Deep Learning Model with OMNeT++ Nodes:
    • Fine-tune the network nodes to use the deep learning model for routing decisions. The nodes will use the model to foresee the best next hop for each packet depends on current network conditions.
  6. Simulation Configuration:
    • Configure the simulation parameters in the .ini file containing paths to the trained model, model parameters, and network settings.
  7. Run and Analyze the Simulation:
    • Implement the simulation and assess the performance of the deep learning-depends routing algorithm. Metrics like packet delivery ratio, latency, and energy consumption can be used to assess to efficiency.

Example: Deep Learning-Based Routing in OMNeT++

  1. Network Definition in .ned File

network DeepLearningNetwork

{

submodules:

node1: SensorNode {

@display(“p=100,200”);

}

node2: SensorNode {

@display(“p=200,200”);

}

node3: SensorNode {

@display(“p=300,200”);

}

node4: SensorNode {

@display(“p=200,100”);

}

connections:

node1.radioModule <–> node2.radioModule;

node2.radioModule <–> node3.radioModule;

node2.radioModule <–> node4.radioModule;

node3.radioModule <–> node4.radioModule;

}

  1. Train a Deep Learning Model

Train a deep learning model offline using a framework like TensorFlow or PyTorch. The model could take features like node positions, signal strength, and traffic load as inputs and predict the next hop.

Here’s a simple outline for training a model in Python:

import tensorflow as tf

from tensorflow.keras import layers, models

import numpy as np

# Load your training data

# X_train: features, y_train: labels (next hop node ID)

X_train = np.load(‘X_train.npy’)

y_train = np.load(‘y_train.npy’)

# Define the model

model = models.Sequential()

model.add(layers.Dense(64, activation=’relu’, input_shape=(X_train.shape[1],)))

model.add(layers.Dense(64, activation=’relu’))

model.add(layers.Dense(y_train.shape[1], activation=’softmax’))

# Compile the model

model.compile(optimizer=’adam’, loss=’categorical_crossentropy’, metrics=[‘accuracy’])

# Train the model

model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=10, batch_size=32)

# Save the model

model.save(‘deep_learning_routing_model.h5’)

  1. Implement Python Script to Interface with OMNeT++

Generate a Python script that loads the trained model and interacts with OMNeT++.

import tensorflow as tf

import numpy as np

class DeepLearningRouting:

def __init__(self, model_path):

self.model = tf.keras.models.load_model(model_path)

def predict_next_hop(self, features):

# features: A list of input features [node_position, signal_strength, etc.]

features = np.array(features).reshape((1, -1))

prediction = self.model.predict(features)

next_hop = np.argmax(prediction)

return next_hop

# Example usage

routing = DeepLearningRouting(‘deep_learning_routing_model.h5’)

features = [0.5, 0.2, 0.1]  # Example features

next_hop = routing.predict_next_hop(features)

print(“Next hop:”, next_hop)

  1. Integrate the Python Script with OMNeT++

Altering the sensor node’s routing logic in OMNeT++ to call the Python script for routing decisions.

class DeepLearningRouting : public cSimpleModule

{

protected:

PyObject *pName, *pModule, *pFunc;

virtual void initialize() override;

virtual void handleMessage(cMessage *msg) override;

int predictNextHop(std::vector<double> features);

public:

DeepLearningRouting();

~DeepLearningRouting();

};

Define_Module(DeepLearningRouting);

DeepLearningRouting::DeepLearningRouting() {

Py_Initialize();

pName = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(“deep_learning_routing_script”);

pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);

Py_DECREF(pName);

if (pModule != nullptr) {

pFunc = PyObject_GetAttrString(pModule, “predict_next_hop”);

if (pFunc && PyCallable_Check(pFunc)) {

// Ready to call Python function

} else {

if (PyErr_Occurred())

PyErr_Print();

fprintf(stderr, “Cannot find function ‘predict_next_hop’\n”);

}

} else {

PyErr_Print();

fprintf(stderr, “Failed to load ‘deep_learning_routing_script’\n”);

}

}

DeepLearningRouting::~DeepLearningRouting() {

Py_XDECREF(pFunc);

Py_XDECREF(pModule);

Py_Finalize();

}

void DeepLearningRouting::initialize() {

// Initialization code

}

void DeepLearningRouting::handleMessage(cMessage *msg) {

// Extract features from the message

std::vector<double> features = {/* populate with extracted features */};

// Predict the next hop using the deep learning model

int nextHop = predictNextHop(features);

// Forward the message to the next hop

send(msg, “out”, nextHop);

}

int DeepLearningRouting::predictNextHop(std::vector<double> features) {

PyObject *pArgs, *pValue;

pArgs = PyTuple_New(features.size());

for (size_t i = 0; i < features.size(); i++) {

pValue = PyFloat_FromDouble(features[i]);

PyTuple_SetItem(pArgs, i, pValue);

}

PyObject *pResult = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, pArgs);

Py_DECREF(pArgs);

if (pResult != nullptr) {

int nextHop = (int)PyLong_AsLong(pResult);

Py_DECREF(pResult);

return nextHop;

} else {

PyErr_Print();

return -1;  // Error handling

}

}
