      In this paper, we study time-parallel simulation of wireless networks
      based upon the concept of the perturbation induced by a networking event
      and present a layer-by-layer analysis of the impact of perturbations on
      the wireless network. This analysis allows us to propose several methods
      to improve the accuracy of time-parallel simulation. We describe an
      implementation based on the widely used ns-2 simulator and on the
      iterative extension of the warmup period. We introduce a method for
      initial state approximation which can improve the accuracy of the
      simulation for table-driven ad hoc routing protocols. A series of
      experiments show that on typical scenarios time-parallel simulation leads
      to a significant speedup while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
