Simulation environment and tools for the Paper "Negotiating Strict Latency Limits for Dynamic Real-Time Services in Vehicular Time-Sensitive Networks." Contains exact versions of tools and simulation frameworks used to evaluate our Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) integrations for strict latency limits in the automotive Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Initialization and Setup

Status

This project has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 (+WSL) and Windows 11.

Frameworks and tools

License

All frameworks are linked as git submodules and come with their own license (usually GPL or LGPL).

OMNeT++ Frameworks:

• INET Framework
• CoRE4INET
• FiCo4OMNeT
• OpenFlow
• SDN4CoRE
• SOA4CoRE
• SignalsAndGateway

Worst-Case Latency Analysis:

• TSNLatencyAnalysis
• DYRECTsn

Initialize Submodules

Initialize submodules from their respective repositories, recursive is required as the INET framework has multiple submodules itself.

git submodule update --init --recursive

Paper Scenarios

The scenarios CBS Max Latency study and the Car Net study are included in the frameworks.

• OMNeT++ simulations are in SDN4CoRE/examples/papers/vehcom2025.
• TSN standard formulas for latency analysis are in TSNLatencyAnalysis/scenarios
• Network calculus tools are in DYRECTsn/scenarios

Please check out the documentation in the referenced projects.

OMNET++ Simulation

1. Download OMNeT++ 6.0.2
   • https://omnetpp.org/download
2. Install OMNeT++
   • https://doc.omnetpp.org/omnetpp/InstallGuide.pdf
3. Start IDE
   • Select this repo as your workspace
4. Import projects into workspace
   • File -> Import... -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace
   • Click Browse and select this workspace as project as rood directory
   • Select the projects CoRE4INET, FiCo4OMNeT, INET, OpenFlow, SDN4CoRE, SignalsAndGateways, and SOA4CoRE
   • Click Finish
5. Running a simulation
   • In the IDE go to SDN4CoRE -> examples -> papers -> vehcom2025 -> car -> omnetpp.ini
   • right click the omnetpp.ini and select run as
   • This will also automatically build all dependencies
   • Click yes/ok if asked to use release build for all projects
   • If some frameworks state something about inconsistency just click okay and OMNeT will try to fix it
   • The OMNeT++ Qtenv should start and you can select a configuration, e.g., Study_WFullShaping_SI
6. Check the documentation of the frameworks and OMNeT++ for more details.
