[ns] Mobile Node Turns off at wrong time instance

2009-10-12 Thread Nicholas Loulloudes


Hello,

I face a problem with NS2 Mobile Nodes.

I have a file in which i specify when individual nodes turn on / off and
this file is passed as input in the NS2 simulation.

Some mobile nodes turn off at different time instances than the ones
specified in this file and this results
to files getting dropped.

Has anyone experienced this before?

What do you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [ns] Mobile Node Turns off at wrong time instance

2009-10-12 Thread Nicholas Loulloudes


Hi Mubashir,

Thanks for the quick response.

I have 4 files: 1) the simulation parameters TCL file , 2) the mobility 
file, 3) the node's on/off file 4) the data file (says when nodes send 
some data)


I make sure that each mobile node sends some data in the network when it 
is ON. In some cases i see some data are lost simply because

when the node tries to send something it's energy model is OFF.

I always perform the following check before sending something:

if (  true == thisNode-energy_model()-node_on() ){
send_data
}

thanks.

Hi,

But the question is that how you made synchronize your nodes to switch 
to on/off states with the data you are providing with the file?

[ns] Having nodes use both 802.11 and SMAC

2009-10-12 Thread Stella Kafetzoglou

Hello all,
I am running a wireless sensor network project where nodes use the SMAC 
protocol to communicate and gather the data.
Do you know if it is possible to have some nodes using SMAC and some 
others using 802.11 as their MAC protocol, in the same simulation?

Thanks in advance
Stella



[ns] Why do I receive Invalid MAC Control subtype?

2009-10-12 Thread Sanaz


Dear all,
Can somebody tell me why exactly the Invalid MAC Control subtype message
is being produced by mac-802_11 module? 
I have changed the ACK packet structure, and have not touched MAC header.
This error message that always appears only when I increase the number of
nodes in the network. And this makes me believe that my modifications should
not be the source of the problem.
When I tracked down the problem, I understood that the packet had a correct
type and subtype before the defer timer being set, but somehow, the header
becomes null when the defer timer expires and MAC goes to check_pktCTRL
subroutine. Any idea why this message was originally put in the check_pkt*
subroutines? Or any specific reason why the header might become null?
Any kind of help is really appreciated.

Regards,
Sanaz

Hi,

Thank you for your reply,

the exemple that I have found in the Marc Greis's Tutorial concen only
transfer data like CBR ,FTP... but in my case I need to send message
from node 1 to node 2 (such as what is your actual postion ) and the node
2 answer by a message reply.

If anyone have an idea about that please can you forward it to me because
I'm stuck!!

It will be a great help for me to advance in my project.

Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

[ns] video tracefile anomalies

2009-10-12 Thread Ahmad Hanis Mohd Shabli

I have the following problem to get my trace simulation working . I would
like to simulate a simple video streaming client server simulation with two
routers and client server node. I'm using a video trace file
(Verbose_Jurassic_64.dat) from
http://trace.eas.asu.edu/tools/ns-example2.tar.gz.

The following codes has been modified from the above codes. The codes run on
my ubuntu 8.04 with ns2.31allinone ok but the .tr file output from the
simulation shows weird output. The packets queue about 99% percent of the
simulation time.
