What’s New in JCSS 12.0

The following section provides an overview of some of the new GUI features and models introduced in JCSS 12.0.

  • JCSS v12.0 is based on OPNET Modeler 17.5.A PL0.  New features included in OPNET Modeler 17.5 and inherited by JCSS are: parallel simulation support, Next Steps window after a simulation run, statistic and attribute searching, and model enhancements to the Wireless, LTE, IP Multicast and TCP models.  Please refer to the Modeler documentation for more information on the 17.5 enhancements.
  • Joint IP Modem (JIPM) and CAISI Capacity Planner Enhancements:   JIPM and CAISI support for Capacity Planner has been integrated into 12.0, including support for End to End delay calculations and data rate reservation.  For more information on the JIPM and CAISI models’ performance in CP, refer to the Model User Guides.
  • Development and Enhancement of a Smartphone: JCSS 12.0 introduces a Smartphone model with support for UMTS, WiFi, LTE and MF-TDMA.  Devices can function in a TDMA and MF-TDMA network, or switch between UMTS, WiFi and LTE technologies based on available connections and user-specified connection priorities. 
  • Riverbed Mobile Model: Utilizing the existing Riverbed model, JCSS 12.0 was enhanced to include a workstation model utilizing the Riverbed mobile software application.  Users can show Riverbed mobile workstations obtaining licenses from a Steelhead Mobile Controller device and interacting with Riverbed devices in the network, performing basic Riverbed functions.
  • CAISI Model Integration: The Combat Service Support Automated Information Systems Interface (CAISI) was added into JCSS 12.0.  The CAISI model performs Access Point, Ethernet switching and long range wireless mesh functionality to allow for multiple wireless connections between multiple tactical units on the field.
  • JIPM Encapsulation support for GSE, ULE: In JCSS 12.0, enhancements were made on the JIPM forward link to support GSE and ULE Encapsulation on the links.  Users can now utilize GSE and ULE in addition to the existing MPE Encapsulation on a network when configuring JIPM networks.
  • Robust Header Compression Model:  Originally a feature with the HAIPE models, JCSS enhanced ROHC to be compatible with all IP devices.  ROHC offers IP, UDP and RTP header compression on packets traveling between IP devices.  Users can enable compression on interfaces and study the effect of compression on various types of networks, including wireless networks.
  • Common Data Link (CDL) Models: The CDL model suite simulates the salient features of devices using the Common Data Link protocols. It may be used in studies of the interconnection of devices using the four CDL waveforms to form useful networks.  It supports the following modes: STD-CDL, N-CDL, and ABE-CDL with D-CDL, in addition to providing support for 15 STD-CDL Sub-waveforms and 21 ABE-CDL Sub-waveforms.  These models are only supported in DES.  Please refer to the CDL Model User-guide for further information.
  • Model User Guides: ROHC and Smartphone Model User Guides were developed with the release for JCSS 12.0.  The MUGs also come with pre-packaged JCSS scenarios to help users understand and evaluate new feature/model performance
