In order to provide low-latency high-throughput Internet access all over the world, companies like SpaceX, Amazon, and OneWeb currently deploy and maintain Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations. Thousands of small satellites orbit Earth at an altitude of roughly 500km. Such a system is perfect for supporting vehicular networks by means of providing Internet access even in regions in which cellular communication technologies like LTE or 5G are not available. For evaluating LEO satellite supported vehicular networks, the simulator Space_Veins is currently developed by us. It integrates LEO satellites in a Veins simulation to simulate Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks. Since LEO satellite constellations can consist out of thousands of satellites, the run time of a single simulation can get large.
Goals of the thesis
This thesis aims at evaluating the run time performance of Space_Veins in order to identify inefficient implementations. Basically, the following two steps need to be performed:
- Set up a test simulation
- Analyze the run time performance using Perf
