Why OPNET?
Networking technology
has become too complex
for traditional analytical
methods or “rules of thumb”
to yield an accurate
understanding of
system behavior

End-To-End Network Architecture Design
• How many subscribers can be supported over a
packet cable infrastructure?
• How will an existing network react to the
deployment of Voice over IP?
• What is the impact of running voice and data
services over a common network infrastructure on
service quality?
© 2001 OPNET Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved. OPNET and OPNET product names are trademarks of OPNET Technologies, Inc.
Systems Level Simulation for Network Devices
• Will a proposed packet scheduling algorithm allow
us to meet target service requirements?
• How should device queues be sized to minimize
cost while meeting throughput specifications?
• What backplane access scheme will yield optimal
system performance?
© 2001 OPNET Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved. OPNET and OPNET product names are trademarks of OPNET Technologies, Inc.
Protocol Development and Optimization
• How can we enhance admission control procedures
to optimize backbone performance?
• Are commercial data protocols adequate for
regulating the intercommunication of embedded
systems on a mobile platform?
• How do standard wireless protocols need to evolve to
efficiently support advanced data applications?

Network Application Optimization and Deployment Analysis
• Is my application optimized to minimize impact on
network usage?
• My application runs great on my test network, but
how will it perform when it is deployed on a network
with background traffic?
• How will application deployment effect my network
performance?

Radio Transceiver Pipeline
1 TRANSITION DELAY MODEL
8 BACKGROUND NOISE MODEL
computes the time required for a transmission to complete
computes the in-band background noise for a receiver channel
2 LINK CLOSURE MODEL
9 INTERFERENCE NOISE MODEL
determines which receivers can be reached by the transmission
(the rest of the Pipeline will be executed separately for each
receiver that passes this test)
computes the interference noise which affects a transmission
fragment (typically, the total power of all other concurrent, in-band
transmissions)
3 CHANNEL MATCH MODEL
10 SNR MODEL
determines which receiver channels can demodulate the
transmission, and which ones should treat it as noise
4 TRANSMITTER ANTENNA GAIN MODEL
computes the gain of the transmitter's antenna in the direction of
the receiver
computes the SNR of a transmission fragment (usually based on the
ratio of received power to the sum of background and interference
noise)
11 BER MODEL
5 PROPOGATION DELAY MODEL
computes the mean bit error rate (BER) over each constant SNR
fragment of the transmission
computes the time required for the transmitted signal to propagate
between the transmitter and the receiver
12 ERROR ALLOCATION MODEL
6 RECEIVER ANTENNA GAIN MODEL
determines the number of bit errors in each fragment of the
transmission
computes the gain of the receiver's antenna in the direction of the
transmitter
13 ERROR CORRECTION MODEL
7 RECEIVED POWER MODEL
computes the average received power of a transmission (typically
factoring in antenna gains, channel frequency, transmitter power,
distance, etc.). Fading effects can be incorporated here.
determines whether the allocated transmission errors can be
corrected and if the transmitted data should be forwarded into the
node for higher level processing
