N2 - We developed a framework for simulating wireless communications in the ocean environment, The framework incorporates three unique maritime features: the wave montion and its effect on wireless transmissions, the ocean surface path loss characteristics, and the mobility pattern of the ships conducting wireless transmissions. We implemented our design in the QualNet network simulator. Using the enhanced simulator, we were able to produce simulation results comparible to experimental measurments carried out under similar settings. In addition, we observed the expected communication quality changes as the sea condition worsens in the network simulator.
