Hi all,
we are simulating a wireless scenario with NS2.29 in an Ubuntu 6.06LTS
(i686 arch). Our scenario consists in two mobile nodes moving at high
speeds in a highway scenario. Each node moves towards the other and we
achieve relative speeds up to 300Kmph (186mph) and uses a 802.11b
wireless interface. One of them sends CBR packets at 11Mbps to the
other.
We are using the Ricean Propagation Model Extension (made by Ratish J.
Punnoose) in order to have a more realistic propagation model than
TwoRayground or Shadowing.
When we analyzed the trace file we haven't any errors (in MAC level).
All the packets sent bye node 0 were received by node 1. We expected to
have some losses in our system, so after seeing this we have installed
an error model (Ralistic Channel Propagation, made by Wu Xiuchao), which
introduces errors due BER. Despite adding that error model we still
haven't lost packets in our tracefile. We also tried to simulate without
the extensions we mentioned previously with the same result.
We think this is a very strange situation, may be, produced by some
mistake in our NS2 script. You can see it below.
Thanks to all and kind regards,
Víctor González Pacheco
