DESERT Underwater: an NS-Miracle extension to DEsign, Simulate, Emulate and Realize Test-beds for Underwater network protocols
DESERT Underwater is a complete set of public C++ libraries that extend the NS-Miracle simulator to support the design and implementation of underwater network protocols. Its creation stems from the will to push the studies on underwater networking beyond simulations. Implementing research solutions on actual devices, in fact, is of key importance to realize a communication and networking architecture that allows heterogeneous nodes to communicate reliably in the underwater environment.

The basic structure of DESERT adheres to the
ISO/OSI communication protocol stack: this allows for ease of development and integration.
The DESERT_Framework folder contains all core modules organized according
to this stack along with the installer folder.
A set of packers, contained within the DESERT_Addons folders, allows DESERT to connect to real devices, so the same code can be used for both simulations and
real sea experiments.
DESERT_Addons also includes other external modules that do not necessarily
fit within the ISO/OSI stack or the DESERT core.
A detailed doxygen documentation is embedded in the source code. If you need to read it in html format please install doxygen on your system, and launch the following:
doxygen
further info and documentation can be found at our github.io webpage.
The complete installation procedure can be found at INSTALL.md.
You can find a lot of samples at
DESERT_Framework/DESERT/samples
along with some guides on how to use them.
Contributions from the community are welcome and appreciated. To maintain consistency and provide ease of integration and readability, the project has a set of rules for coding and submitting changes. Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md if you want to contribute.
