How to Implement 6G Networks in OMNeT++

To implement the 6G networks in OMNeT++ requires a network that sets up the environment which replicate the advanced features expected in 6G like ultra-high data rates, ultra-low latency, AI-driven network management, and integration of satellite and terrestrial networks by simulating it. We have to extend the model for 6G networks, because OMNeT++ and the INET framework primarily support traditional and 5G networks.  Follow this script below to know the implementation of 6G networks:

Step-by-Step Implementation:

  1. Understand the Basics of 6G Networks

We are expecting the 6G networks to offer the extremely high data rates (up to 1 Tbps), ultra-low latency (less than 1 ms) and helps AI-driven network management and edge computing and also integrate satellite and terrestrial networks, support massive IoT deployments, and provide optimized security features.

  1. Install OMNeT++ and INET Framework

Make sure, you have OMNeT++ and the INET Framework installed.

  1. Create a New OMNeT++ Project
  1. Open OMNeT++ IDE: Start the OMNeT++ IDE.
  2. Create a New Project: Go to File -> New -> OMNeT++ Project and name it (for instance: 6GNetworkSimulation).
  1. Define the Network Topology

State the network topology that contain base stations, user equipment (UE), and core network elements by generating a new NED file.

Example: 6G Network Topology (6GNetwork.ned)

package sixgnetwork;

import inet.node.inet.StandardHost;

import inet.node.inet.Router;

import inet.node.inet.WirelessHost;

network 6GNetwork

{

parameters:

@display(“bgb=800,400”);

submodules:

ue1: WirelessHost {

@display(“p=100,300”);

}

ue2: WirelessHost {

@display(“p=300,300”);

}

basestation1: WirelessHost {

@display(“p=200,200”);

}

basestation2: WirelessHost {

@display(“p=400,200”);

}

coreRouter: Router {

@display(“p=300,100”);

}

edgeServer: StandardHost {

@display(“p=500,100”);

}

connections:

ue1.wlan[0] <–> AdhocChannel <–> basestation1.wlan[0];

ue2.wlan[0] <–> AdhocChannel <–> basestation2.wlan[0];

basestation1.ethg++ <–> Eth10M <–> coreRouter.ethg++;

basestation2.ethg++ <–> Eth10M <–> coreRouter.ethg++;

coreRouter.ethg++ <–> Eth10M <–> edgeServer.ethg++;

}

  1. Configure the Simulation

Create an OMNeT++ initialization file to configure the parameters of the simulation.

Example: Configuration File (omnetpp.ini)

[General]

network = sixgnetwork.6GNetwork

sim-time-limit = 100s

# Visualization

*.visualizer.canvasVisualizer.displayBackground = true

*.visualizer.canvasVisualizer.displayGrid = true

# User Equipment Configuration

*.ue*.numApps = 1

*.ue*.app[0].typename = “UdpBasicApp”

*.ue*.app[0].destAddresses = “basestation1 basestation2”

*.ue*.app[0].destPort = 5000

*.ue*.app[0].messageLength = 1024B

*.ue*.app[0].sendInterval = 1s# Base Station Configuration

*.basestation*.numApps = 1

*.basestation*.app[0].typename = “UdpSink”

*.basestation*.app[0].localPort = 5000

# Core Network Configuration

*.coreRouter.numApps = 1

*.coreRouter.app[0].typename = “UdpSink”

*.coreRouter.app[0].localPort = 6000

# Edge Server Configuration

*.edgeServer.numApps = 1

*.edgeServer.app[0].typename = “UdpSink”

*.edgeServer.app[0].localPort = 7000

# UDP Configuration

*.ue*.hasUdp = true

*.basestation*.hasUdp = true

*.coreRouter.hasUdp = true

*.edgeServer.hasUdp = true

# Wireless Configuration

*.ue*.wlan[0].typename = “AdhocHost”

*.basestation*.wlan[0].typename = “AdhocHost”

# IP Address Configuration

*.ue1.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“ue1.xml”)

*.ue2.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“ue2.xml”)

*.basestation1.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“basestation1.xml”)

*.basestation2.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“basestation2.xml”)

*.coreRouter.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“coreRouter.xml”)

*.edgeServer.ipv4.config = xmldoc(“edgeServer.xml”)

  1. Create IP Address Configuration Files

Create XML files to describe the IP address configuration for all node.

Example: IP Configuration File for ue1 (ue1.xml)

<config>

<interface>

<name>wlan0</name>

<address>192.168.1.1</address>

<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>

</interface>

</config>

Example: IP Configuration File for basestation1 (basestation1.xml)

<config>

<interface>

<name>wlan0</name>

<address>192.168.2.1</address>

<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>

</interface>

<interface>

<name>eth0</name>

<address>10.0.0.1</address>

<netmask>255.0.0.0</netmask>

</interface>

</config>

Example: IP Configuration File for coreRouter (coreRouter.xml)

<config>

<interface>

<name>eth0</name>

<address>10.0.0.254</address>

<netmask>255.0.0.0</netmask>

</interface>

</config>

  1. Implement 6G Specific Features

We need to expand the INET framework to simulate 6G-specific features like:

  • AI-driven Network Management: Implement AI algorithms to dynamically manage network resources.
  • Ultra-low Latency Communication: To minimize the communication delays, we have to execute protocols.
  • Integration with Satellite Networks: Simulate satellite links and their integration with terrestrial networks.
  • Enhanced Security Features: Execute advanced security mechanisms.

Example: AI-driven Network Management Logic (Pseudo-Code)

class AIManager : public cSimpleModule

{

protected:

virtual void initialize() override;

virtual void handleMessage(cMessage *msg) override;

private:

void optimizeNetwork();

};

void AIManager::initialize() {

// Initialization code

scheduleAt(simTime() + 1, new cMessage(“optimizeNetwork”));

}

void AIManager::handleMessage(cMessage *msg) {

if (strcmp(msg->getName(), “optimizeNetwork”) == 0) {

optimizeNetwork();

scheduleAt(simTime() + 1, msg);

} else {

// Handle other messages

}

}

void AIManager::optimizeNetwork() {

// Logic to optimize network resources using AI algorithms

}

  1. Run the Simulation
  1. Build the Project: Right-click on project and select Build Project.
  2. Run the Simulation: Click on the green play button in the OMNeT++ IDE to start the simulation.

We provided the basic setup of network to extension of frameworks in this script. You can now understand how to implement 6G networks in OMNeT++ with the help of INET framework. You can reach out us whenever you need additional information on this topic.

We specify in 5G and 6G network modules and are excited to share our simulation results with you! Just send us the details of your project, and we’ll be happy to assist you further. Additionally, we offer implementation of 6G networks using the OMNeT++ tool.
