[ns] Help Required Regarding NS2 version!

2010-02-16 Thread Muhammad Aqeel

Hi,
I am going to do Mobility management in WiFi, WiMax and UMTS. I am going
to use 802.21 for mobility management.
I want to know which version of NS2.XX is more suitable for 802.21 and which
also supports WiFi, WiMax and UMTS. I tried to find out comparisons but
could not find enough information.
I am using Windows 7 operating system.

Please guide me regarding the best suitable version of NS2 for 802.21 based
mobility management.

Regards

Aqeel,

any version of NS you choose for your purposes, I suggest you to use It in
a Virtualbox with Ubuntu [8.04 - 9.04].
This is the most compatible NS-2 set you ever use in Windows.

Cygwin is an option, but:

- I can tell you that NS runs slower in Cygwin than in a
Virtualbox Linux VM. You may measure that counting time of a simple
validate in both platforms.

- While the newest NS-2.35 isn't released, you must use a previous NS
in Cygwin 1.5 (legacy-setup) to a successful compilation, but this
release of Cygwin
isn't compatible with Windows 7. The newest Cygwin 1.7.1 is fully
compatible with Windows 7, but isn't compatible with NS-2.34 and below.
So, the main solution will be the NS-2.35. For now, to circumvent the
problems, those that use
Windows 7 must install Cygwin 1.5 in compatible mode (win95). After
this special install, recreate the Cygwin bash icon in start menu.
