Hello ns users,
I am simulating a small Adhoc-wifi network of 4 nodes in ns3. Two nodes
are OnOff sources and other two of them are OnOff sinks. I am starting two
source nodes at the same time. The problem I am facing is that, after ARP
request the simulation just halts, not even a single data packet is sent.
Following is my script:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "ns3/core-module.h"
#include "ns3/common-module.h"
#include "ns3/node-module.h"
#include "ns3/helper-module.h"
#include "ns3/mobility-module.h"
#include "ns3/contrib-module.h"
#include "ns3/wifi-module.h"
using namespace ns3;
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
Packet::EnableMetadata ();
Config::SetDefault ("ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager::RtsCtsThreshold",
StringValue ("0")); // enable rts cts all the time.
WifiHelper wifi;
MobilityHelper mobility;
NodeContainer stas;
NetDeviceContainer staDevs;
InternetStackHelper stack;
stas.Create (4);
Ptr<WifiChannel> channel = CreateObject<WifiChannel> ();
channel->SetPropagationDelayModel
(CreateObject<ConstantSpeedPropagationDelayModel> ());
Ptr<LogDistancePropagationLossModel> log =
CreateObject<LogDistancePropagationLossModel> ();
log->SetReferenceModel (CreateObject<FriisPropagationLossModel> ());
channel->SetPropagationLossModel (log);
wifi.SetPhy ("ns3::WifiPhy");
wifi.SetRemoteStationManager ("ns3::ArfWifiManager");
wifi.SetMac ("ns3::AdhocWifiMac");
mobility.SetPositionAllocator ("ns3::GridPositionAllocator",
"MinX", DoubleValue (0.0),
"MinY", DoubleValue (0.0),
"DeltaX", DoubleValue (5.0),
"DeltaY", DoubleValue (10.0),
"GridWidth", UintegerValue (3),
"LayoutType", StringValue ("RowFirst"));
mobility.SetMobilityModel ("ns3::StaticMobilityModel");
mobility.Install (stas);
staDevs = wifi.Install (stas, channel);
stack.Install (stas);
Ipv4AddressHelper ipv;
ipv.SetBase ("10.1.1.0", "255.255.255.0");
Ipv4InterfaceContainer ipvcontain = ipv.Assign (staDevs);
OnOffHelper onoff1 ("ns3::UdpSocketFactory", InetSocketAddress
(ipvcontain.GetAddress (1), 9));
onoff1.SetAttribute ("OnTime", RandomVariableValue
(ConstantVariable
(10)));
onoff1.SetAttribute ("OffTime", RandomVariableValue
(ConstantVariable
(0)));
ApplicationContainer apps1 = onoff1.Install (stas.Get (0));
apps1.Start (Seconds (0.5));
apps1.Stop (Seconds (10.0));
PacketSinkHelper sink ("ns3::UdpSocketFactory", Address
(InetSocketAddress (Ipv4Address::GetAny (), 9)));
sink.Install (stas.Get (1));
onoff1.SetAttribute ("Remote", AddressValue (InetSocketAddress
(ipvcontain.GetAddress (3), 9)));
ApplicationContainer apps2 = onoff1.Install (stas.Get (2));
sink.Install (stas.Get (3));
apps2.Start(Seconds (0.5));
apps2.Stop (Seconds (10.0));
std::ofstream ascii("out.tr");
WifiHelper::EnableAsciiAll(ascii);
Simulator::Stop (Seconds (10.0));
Simulator::Run ();
Simulator::Destroy ();
return 0;
}
Following is content of out.tr after simulation:

It appears that the ARP request does collide (I dont' know why?) since the
node 3 is receiveing the ARP request sent by node 0 for node 2. But
simulation doesn't carry on. This is the whole trace file that I have
shown.
Please help me in simulating more than 1 application in wifi ns3 because
any example does not show us how to do so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
BR, Amit Soni
