Hi, I am a newbie to NS.
I am trying to simulate a simple Tdma in a wireless setting using the mac-tdma provided with ns. I found that, there was a huge switching (approx 0.1s) time between slots. Now, I am not interested in practical implementation but trying simulate a "ideal" Tdma mac protocol that does not have any switching delays between the nodes and BaseStation: what parameters am I to change? Basically, I would like to know what are the contributing factors to a big switching time in Tdma mac protocols. I tried to read the mac-tdma(cc,h) and found that it could be because preamble size (which I reduced to zero and did not find a lot of change). thanks in advance -Pratap
