How to Implement Network Demodulation in OMNeT++

To implement network demodulation in OMNeT++ has encompasses to mimic the process of converting modulated signals back into their original digital form at the receiver end. This is vital for emulating the communication systems in which the information is transferred over numerous modulation schemes and it essential to be demodulated to be processed further. The below is the procedure to implement the network demodulation in OMNeT++:

Steps to Implement Network Demodulation in OMNeT++

1. Set Up OMNeT++ Environment:
   • Make sure OMNeT++ and the INET framework are installed and configured properly.
   • Relaying on the complexity of the modulation/demodulation process, we might require expanding or generating custom modules to manage the particular modulation schemes.
2. Design the Network Architecture:
   • State a network topology with transmitter and receiver nodes. The transmitter will modulate data, and the receiver will demodulate it.
   • Make sure that the communication channel can manage the modulation scheme plan to execute.
3. Implement Modulation at the Transmitter:
   • To design or use existing modules to moderate the data before transmission. For instance, we might execute schemes such as QAM, PSK, or FSK.
   • The transmitter should encode the data into a modulated signal that can be transmitted over the network.
4. Implement Demodulation at the Receiver:
   • To design demodulation techniques that resembles to the modulation scheme used by the transmitter and it involve decoding the received signal back into its original digital form.
   • The demodulation module should deliberate the factors such as signal noise, interference, and attenuation that could impact the received signal.
5. Configure the Communication Channel:
   • Configure a communication channel that realistically emulates the conditions under which the modulated signal will travel and this involves the modelling noise, fading, and other channel impairments that could impact the demodulated signal.
6. Simulate and Monitor Demodulation:
   • Execute simulations to monitor how well the demodulation process recovers the original data from the transmitted signal.
   • Observe the parameters such as bit error rate (BER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the accuracy of the demodulated data.
7. Analyse and Visualize Results:
   • Use OMNeT++’s visualization tools to monitor the modulation and demodulation processes that has contains the signal changes as they travel via the network.
   • Measure the effect of various channel conditions on the accuracy of the demodulation process.

Example Configuration

The below is the sample configuration for implementing network demodulation in OMNeT++:

network = ModulationDemodulationNetwork

sim-time-limit = 500s

[Config ModulationDemodulationNetwork]

*.numTransmitters = 1

*.numReceivers = 1

# Define the modulation scheme at the transmitter

*.transmitter[0].modulationScheme = “QAM”

*.transmitter[0].modulationOrder = 16  # 16-QAM

# Define the demodulation scheme at the receiver

*.receiver[0].demodulationScheme = “QAM”

*.receiver[0].modulationOrder = 16  # 16-QAM

# Configure communication channel with noise and attenuation

*.channel.type = “IdealWirelessChannel”

*.channel.noiseFigure = 5dB

*.channel.fading = true

*.channel.pathLossExponent = 2.5

# Enable logging of modulation and demodulation process

*.transmitter[0].logModulation = true

*.receiver[0].logDemodulation = true

Example Scenarios

1. Scenario 1: Basic QAM Demodulation

Execute a simple scenario in which a transmitter uses 16-QAM to modulate data, and the receiver demodulates the signal back into its original form. Observe the bit error rate (BER) under ideal channel conditions to test the accuracy of the demodulation process.

1. Scenario 2: Demodulation under Noisy Conditions

To mimic a scenario in which the communication channel establish the noise and fading and measure how these conditions impact the accuracy of the demodulated signal and how the bit error rate (BER) upsurges with worsening channel conditions.

1. Scenario 3: Adaptive Modulation and Demodulation

Execute a scenario where the transmitter and receiver can adjust the modulation and demodulation schemes based on real-time channel conditions. For example that they might switch among the QPSK and 16-QAM that relays on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Measure the effect on overall network performance and reliability.

Considerations:

• Channel Conditions: Accurately emulate the communication channel to validate how well the demodulation process manages the real-world impairments such as noise, fading, and interference.
• Error Correction: To deliberate to deploy error correction codes such as FEC alongside demodulation to enhance the accuracy of the recovered data in noisy environments.
• Scalability: Evaluate the demodulation process in a larger network with multiple transmitters and receivers to assess how well the system scales with increased complexity.
