           <div class="article-style">
             <p><strong>OMNeT++</strong> is a simulation platform for discrete-event systems. Even though it is primarily targeted at simulating computer networks and
 distributed systems, it cannot be used without any extensions for wireless communication. For this kind of simulations, external model frameworks have to be included.
 Currently, there are two prominent model frameworks which cover whole model suites for according focus of wireless research.
 These are the Mobility Framework and the <strong>INET</strong> Framework. As INET provides all models necessary for simulating Vehicle-2-X communication,
 it is selected for the integration to Eclipse MOSAIC.</p>
 <p>For more information on the <strong>INET</strong> extension you should look closer on the

 <h3 id="omnet-federate-configuration">OMNeT++ Federate Configuration</h3>
 <p>To use OMNeT++ as network simulator in an Eclipse MOSAIC simulation, open <code>&lt;scenarioName&gt;/scenario_config.json</code> and enable OMNeT++:</p>
 <pre><code class="language-json">&quot;federates&quot;: {
    ...
    &quot;omnetpp&quot;: true,
    ...
 }
 </code></pre>
 <p>Now, when you run this scenario, Eclipse MOSAIC will automatically start the MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate.</p>
 <p>The main configuration of the MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate is done within the configuration files <code>omnetpp.ini</code> and <code>omnetpp_config.json</code> in the scenario:</p>
 <pre><code class="language-plaintext">└─ &lt;scenario_name&gt;
    └─ omnetpp
       ├─ omnetpp.ini ...................... OMNeT++ federate configuration file
       └─ omnetpp_config.json .............. Ambassador configuration file
 </code></pre>
 <p>The whole OMNeT++ specific configuration is done via the <code>omnetpp.ini</code> file. It covers static parts for the
 simulator coupling such as the specific Eclipse MOSAIC Event Scheduler and the ScenarioManager. Furthermore,
 logging configurations and the typical parameters for the communication layers (MAC, PHY and Radio
 Channel) are addressed. The communication parameters are different for vehicles and RSUs. Please refer
 to the OMNeT++ documentation on the OMNeT++ homepage for further information about the structure
 of the <code>omnetpp.ini</code> file.</p>

 <p>This is an experimental feature. Please refer to our mailing list if you experience any problems.</p>
   </div>
 </div>
 <p>This guide gives instructions to execute the OMNeT++ federate inside a docker container. If you already installed
 OMNeT++ on your machine following the steps before, you can skip this section.</p>
 <p>Docker is a new approach to execute software. More precisely, it &ldquo;wraps software in a complete filesystem
 that contains everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools, and system libraries&rdquo;. As a result, the
 software is executed within a container and its execution does not rely on the environment the container is running in.</p>
 <p>In context of Eclipse MOSAIC, this approach allows to execute OMNeT++ within a docker container. The user does not
 need to manually install OMNeT++ and can even run OMNeT++ on Windows hosts.</p>
 <ol>
 <li>Install Docker ≥ 1.13 on your machine.</li>
 <li>To get everything to work, please make sure to execute the following steps depending on your operating system:
 <ul>
 <li>Windows - In the settings, share the drive where Eclipse MOSAIC is installed on. You may need to restart docker in the reset tab.</li>
 <li>Linux - Make sure your user account belongs to the unix-group <code>docker</code>. You may need to restart your machine.</li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 <li>Switch to the location of the Dockerfile in <code>&lt;mosaic&gt;/bin/fed/omnetpp</code></li>
 <li>Execute the following command on command line:<br>
 <code>docker build -t omnetpp-federate</code>.<br>
 This could take a while to finish.</li>
 <li>Enter the name of the docker image <code>etc/runtime.json</code> in the <code>omnetpp</code>-section into the property <code>dockerImage</code>:</li>
 </ol>
 <pre><code class="language-json">&quot;federates&quot;: [
    ...
    {
       &quot;id&quot;: &quot;omnetpp&quot;,
       &quot;dockerImage&quot;: &quot;omnetpp-federate&quot;,
