Openthread stack for ns-3

[wnsdn6]

I am looking for a way to run the OpenThread stack within NS-3.

For my research, I need to simulate realistic environment effects like fading and dynamic path loss, which are currently not supported in OTNS. NS-3 already has well-established models for these features, making it an ideal environment for high-fidelity network testing.

Is there a roadmap for integrating OpenThread with NS-3? Or is there a known method to port the OpenThread stack as an NS-3 module?

Any guidance or documentation would be greatly appreciated.

AFIAK, there is no active work to add native support for OpenThread into ns-3.

You could look into Whitefield, but that hasn't been maintained for some time: https://github.com/whitefield-framework/whitefield

You could also look into enhancing the OTNS radio model.
