LR-FHSS-Sim: A Discrete-Event Simulator for LR-FHSS Networks

Networking and Internet Architecture 2024-04-16 v1

Abstract

This work presents the LR-FHSS-Sim, a free and open-source discrete-event simulator for LR-FHSS networks. We highlight the importance of network modeling for IoT coverage, especially when it is needed to capture dynamic network behaviors. Written in Python, we present the LR-FHSS-Sim main structure, procedures, and extensions. We discuss the importance of a modular code, which facilitates the creation of algorithmic strategies and signal-processing techniques for LR-FHSS networks. Moreover, we showcase how to achieve results when considering different packet generation traffic patterns and with a previously published extension. Finally, we discuss our thoughts on future implementations and what can be achieved with them.
