Challenges of Large-scale Vehicular & Mobile Ad Hoc Network Simulation

Wireless fidelity (WiFi) is a fast growing technology and the proliferation of devices is closely related to the relaxed use of the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands, operating at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Commensurate with vast growth, the devices that function using WiFi technology have become more integrated into modern life [1]. The vehicle industries are now introducing communications to their prod-ucts, and so require an application and mechanisms to share information through a network, and to produce commercial products for driver information. In the realm of simulation, which is becoming more prominent in all levels of scientific re-search, the ability to run more complex simulations in less time is highly desirable [2], so that new theories and technologies can be quickly and accurately tested with little expense. As an example, we take the simulation of 500 nodes on a 500m
