A method for directional mobile ad-hoc communication may include transmitting a join message from a first node to a second node, receiving an accept message from the second node including a TDMA frame slot reassignment correlating to an available TDMA frame slot in a TDMA frame associated with the second node, reassigning a TDMA frame slot for the first node in the TDMA frame associated with the first node according to the frame slot reassignment, and assigning a TDMA frame slot for the second node in the TDMA frame of the first node. It may also comprise executing a discovery protocol to configure a directional mobile ad-hoc communication network between a first node and as second node, transmitting a bandwidth reservation request message from the first node to the second node, receiving a bandwidth reservation response message from the second node, and enabling a relay node.

The present invention is a universal stack analyzer which is configured for collecting data at (ex.&#x2014;from) all layers of a stack and filtering the collected data to isolate selected data included in the collected data. The selected data is selected via user inputs provided to a user interface of the universal stack analyzer and filtering of the collected data to isolate the selected data from the collected data is performed based upon filters generated in response to the received user inputs. The selected data is then displayed via a graphical viewer of the stack analyzer in a user-friendly graphical format. The universal stack analyzer is waveform-agnostic.

A system for providing a network simulation is disclosed. The system may comprise a plurality of simulation platforms, each particular simulation platform of the plurality of simulation platforms representing a simulated entity in the network simulation, each particular simulation platform may include: a simulated node configured for executing a set of networking software for representing the simulated entity; a communication handler configured for handling communications between the particular simulation platform and another simulation platform of the plurality of simulation platforms; and a proxy node configured for emulating a data transmission from an outside node to the simulated node, the outside node being a simulated node of the other simulation platform. The system may further comprise a simulation control module for controlling at least one of: a start and an end of the network simulation, mobility of each of the plurality of simulation platforms, and traffic flows in the network simulation.
