Hi all, I'd like to inform the ns-2 users community of the release of a patch improving the original ns-2 support for wireless simulations. The patch groups freely available contributions provided by Wu Xiuchao, Ratish J. Punnoose, David X. Wei and Felix Schmidt-Eisenlohr, adapted to ns-2.29, plus original contribution. The patch adds the following features to ns-2.29: - realistic channel propagation - ricean propagation model - SNOOPy calendar scheduler - several 802.11 bug fixes - mulitple data transmission rates support - Adaptive Auto Rate Fallback (AARF) The AARF algorithm was designed by the Planete research group at INRIA. Full references and installation instructions can be found in the included read.me file. An example Tcl script to test the patch is provided.
The patch is available for download at http://www. reti.polito.it/fiore Regards, Marco Fiore
