[ns] Steady state throughput

2008-08-04 Thread mozam


Dear NS-users,

I would like to evaluate the steady-state throughput of a network of few
nodes with respect to the packet arrival rate (PAR).
For each PAR, I extract from the trace file the corresponding Throughput by
using the following formula
Throughput = (total number of bits received) / (simulation duration). Let's
mentioned that in the simulation duration, the transient period is not
considered.
My problem is that I don't know how to compute the steady-state throughput.
Because the throughput I am computing varies with the simulation duration. I
tried to simulate with very long simulation durations (4000...6000
seconds), but there are still significant changes in the throughput values
and the simulation takes too long time.

How could I simulate the steady-state throughput?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Mozam

[ns] steady state throughput

2008-06-10 Thread mozam


Hello,

Excuse me if i'm in the wrong forum, just do not consider this post message.

I am a NS 2.29's user and I am evaluating the IEEE 802.15.4 performances. 
I would like to evaluate the throughput of a network of few nodes with
respect to the packet arrival rate (PAR).
For each PAR, I extract from the trace file the corresponding Throughput.
However, I notice that the throughput varies with the simulation duration.
But in my work, I am looking for steady state throughput, a kind of mean
throughput.
I tried to simulate with very long simulation durations (2000...3
seconds), but there are still changes in the throughput values and the
simulation takes too long time.

Please, could someone help me? How should I simulate that throughput?
Thank you very much in advance.

Mozam
