Abstract
Network simulations play an important role in many domains. Often it is helpful to optimize simulation parameters automatically based on given simulation output metrics. We present an extension of the open-source optimization framework Simopticon that is able to automatically optimize simulation parameters of OMNeT++ simulations. To demonstrate the optimizer, we apply this to two simulation models: A Veins scenario where 15 wirelessly connected vehicles optimize their routes, and a Simu5G scenario optimizing the gNodeB’s transmission power in a mobile network.
