[ns] How acess the protocol agent of a mobil node

2006-01-04 Thread Olivier Berho

Hi all.

I would like to know if someone can explain me how sould I do to get an 
access of the protocol agent of a mobile node.
The mobile node I use is declared in this way :

set val(adhocRouting)   AODV
.
.
.
$ns_ node-config -adhocRouting $val(adhocRouting) \
.
.
.

How could I do to get the "name" of that  variable in order to use some 
methods I have develop in the body of the protocol AODV ?

Thanks a lot.

Olivier. 



[ns] ns routing protocol

2006-01-04 Thread Fatemeh Karimirad

Dear all,
If any body knows, please tell me if it is possible to change the routing 
metrics (such as bandwidth, delay,..) in my TCL program or it should be changed 
via adding new 
protocol or any modification in routing protocols of  ns-2.29 source.
Best Regards,
Fatemeh Karimirad

[ns] Difference between DumbAgent and DSDV

2006-01-04 Thread Qasim Raza Iqbal

Dear All

Happy New Year, I Hope you all had great holidays.

I wanted to enquire what is the difference between DumbAgent protocol and
DSDV (I know about DSDV as mentioned in NS2 manual.

DumbAgent is applied in the example MyTest.TCL, an online example for smac
users

Another thing I needed to know if MyTest.tcl applies the motes version of
parameters for routing etc, and Tiny OS parameters for bandwith and other
calculations

Also in the example it has two lines as follow

#set opt(mac)Mac/802_11   ;# MAC type
set opt(mac)Mac/SMAC  ;# MAC type

this means that smac is applied in calculations.
However if I rem out Mac/SMAC and leave Mac/802_11 only. Would this apply
802.11 protocol for the motes using DumbAgent.

I would be very much grateful for answer to any or all questions mentioned
above


Best regards

Re: [ns] How acess the protocol agent of a mobil node

2006-01-04 Thread Martin Wenig

Hi!

in the tcl script you can add the following line after the creation of 
the node

set node_($i) [$ns_ node];#create the node
set ragent_($i)[$node_($i) set ragent_];#get the routing agent

Hope that helps
Martin

[ns] Wired network losses

2006-01-04 Thread Adam Hunt

Dear ns users,

I am looking at general relationships between the various parameters in a 
wired network and have got some unexpected results. It seems that there is 
no real loss in available throughput when the transmission distance is 
increased. However, mathematical equations show significant losses over 
large distances (e.g. 1000m). My tcl code is based on the first few examples 
in Marc Greis' tutorial. I was wondering if there is some extra code that 
needs to be used to include losses (like the shadowing propagation used in 
wireless networks).

Any advice much appreciated,

Adam

If you use the freespace or two-ray-ground propagation model you will only get 
packet loss because of collisions and noise. Between two nodes you will get 
only 0 or 100% receive probability. You should better use the shadowing model 
because it produces a gradual loss probability.

Re: [ns] Difference between DumbAgent and DSDV

2006-01-04 Thread Mohammad Zubair Ahmad

You use DumbAgent as the network layer protocol when no routing is required in 
your test scenario - this is when you need to calculate MAC layer performance 
specifically. In DumbAgent it is assumed that your scenario is such that each 
source and destination node are directly neigbors and within one hop distance 
from each other and hence require no routing techniques.

Answer to your final question is Yes, 802.11 will be applied instead of SMAC.

[ns] Packet error rate

2006-01-04 Thread Adam Hunt

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a relationship between the length of a wired 
link and the packet error rate? Is there a formula? I wish to use it in an 
Error Model to find throughputs over different distances.

Thanks,

Adam

[ns] Delay anomaly

2006-01-04 Thread Tema Teresa Johnson

Hello all,
   I was trying to find out the delay distribution (MAC layer).I am
doing the experiment for different data rates.The delay with
200kbps datarate is found to be more than that with 400kbps.ie.
When u repeat the same experiment,the delay is concentrated on a
higher value for 200kbps. What can be the problem? Is there any
explanation for that?
Thanks in advance.

[ns] Segmentation fault at the end of simulation

2006-01-04 Thread manjusha


Hello NS-users,

I'm getting a strange error while running wireless simulations using DSR 
protocol. After a simulation run of 200sec with 120 nodes, the system is 
receiving a 
SIGSEGV, segmentation fault in Tcl_FindHashEntry(). The packets are all getting 
delivered to the destination & packets in transit are getting dropped at the 
end of 200sec, 
as usual. But, I'm unable to trace the cause of the seg fault. Has anyone got a 
solution to this problem? Do reply at the earliest.

Regards,
Manjusha
