Omnet++ and INET for 802154a

Question

I am trying to implement what was available on MiXiM framework using INET 3.4.0, i.e. the protocol 802.15.4a (UWB).

INET offers already the NIC module (radio+MAC) but not the rest, i.e the network and application layer.

I would like to create a 'dummy' simulations where two 802154a hosts send and receive messages using the INET NIC module called Ieee802154UWBIRNic.

I tried to follow the implementation used by MiXiM but I got lost with all the Base modules etc etc.

Can someone help me? I also implemented a simple network layer and then tried to use PingApp but it is not working, it says something like

'Host Address Unknown'

My university colleage did some work with IEEE 802.15.4 in OMNeT++ with INET Framework : "A New IEEE 802.15.4 Simulation Model for OMNeT++ / INET" https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.1177.pdf

Problem here is we're just porting it for newer INET Version and OMNeT++ but sooner or later it will work. It should be possible to use it for OMNeT++ 4.6 with INET 2.6 there is some implementation working for all the stuff you mentioned.
