  • Communication effects in network simulations
    Patent number: 9825820
    Abstract: A method for a system that runs a platform simulation and a network simulation of a radio network comprises probing the network simulation to determine effects produced between transmitter-receiver pairs represented within the network simulation; computing communication effects in response to the probing and saving the communication effects for later use; and when a communication event involving a transmitter-receiver pair occurs in the platform simulation, using the saved communication effects to simulate the communication effects for that event.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Robert C. Custer, Robert J. Harrison, Brian J. Waltersdorf

  • Communications effects in network simulations
    Patent number: 8902767
    Abstract: Real-time, high fidelity communication effects are simulated. A transmitter in a platform simulation is requested to send a surrogate message to a receiver in the platform simulation. Communications effects are computed in response to the message, and the communications effects are saved for later use. When a future communication event involving the transmitter and receiver occurs, the saved effects are used to simulate the communication effects for that event.
