Co-Simulation Framework for applications involving Networked Robots like Connected Autonomous Vehicles, Network of UAVs.
CORNET 1.0 integrates Ardupilot SITL in Gazebo and NS3 and the source code is available here.
CORNET 2.0 is more generic framework that can be integrated with any robotic framework that supports ROS. This code was tested on an Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 system.
For network realization, we use Mininet Wi-Fi; the dependent packages need to installed as mentioned in mininet wifi documentation. This work is submitted for review (COMSNETS 2022). If you find this code useful in your research, please consider citing:

build.sh script will build and tag the images required for running. you can add you own Dockerfile based on the file Dockerfile
You can also use a pre-built docker image which can be downloaded from here then you can load the image with the following command:
docker load -i containernet_foxy.tar
