Abstract:The upcoming IEEE 802.11bn amendment marks a paradigm shift in Wi-Fi, which will pose ambitious performance targets under the paradigm of Ultra-High Reliability (UHR). To understand the implications of such a new technology and to support early research and protocol design for Wi-Fi~8, we present \texttt{Kom8ndor}. This discrete-event network simulator extends the open-source Komondor platform (a simulator validated against ns-3 and other analytical tools) with 802.11bn features. Among the newly added functionalities, we highlight Multi-Access Point Coordination (MAPC) -- including Coordinated Time-Division Multiple Access (Co-TDMA), Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR), and Coordinated Beamforming (Co-BF) -- , Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA), and Dynamic Subband Operation (DSO). Beyond Wi-Fi~8 implementations, \texttt{Kom8ndor} introduces novel functionalities (e.g., a machine learning wrapper for building AI-based protocols) and a modular design to boost the prototyping and research of future Wi-Fi technologies. \texttt{Kom8ndor} is open-source (GNU GPLv3) and available at this https URL.
