Subject: simulation problems on 802.11 infrastructure mode
To: ns-users@isi.edu
Dear all,
I'm doing some simulations on 802.11 infrastructure mode in ns2 using
"Phy/WirelessPhy & Mac/802_11" implementations within ns2.
When I did a simple simulation which involved 24 clients and 5 APs(all
clients are evenly distributed in a 300*300 area and 5 APs are located at
the four
corners and the center ), everything went well if the CBR data rate is low
enough(eg. 256kB). While if the CBR data rate is higher (1MB), there rose a
segmentation faults and it cannot be tracked in GDB easily ( the fault is
listed below). Because I didn't change any code in NS 2, there may be some
bugs in the 802.11 Mac implementation. Could any one give me any advice,
pls? I really appreciate it.
Best regards,
Wang Hui
