[ns] NS programming

2006-10-23 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Hi all,

I do not know if this is the right list for asking this. Btw, I have been
studing NS since a few days. Now I have some idea of what I need to do for
creating the scenarios I need. The question is where to start. Does anybody
knows some tutorials/manuals/how-tos regarding the extending of NS? The NS
by examples brings an example of how to create a new protocol, and it gives
an idea of the number of details that need to be dealt with in order to put
the things working.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: [ns] ns-allinone-2.29 Installation problem in cygwin

2006-10-20 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Hi there Aravind!

As the archive is quite big, maybe you have missed my post where I respond
to this question.
Try to look at http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2006-October.txt.
Once downloaded, type CTRL + F for searching a pattern and write Unpack
ns.

This was my answer to a question quite similar to yours. Besides my answer,
there are at least two or three answers in the archive for this same
question. It's all about having time and patience for searching 150MB of
archives :-)

Regards,

Loreno

Re: [ns] Problems running simulations

2006-10-19 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Not sure if this is a ns/nam issue. Imediatelly before/after getting this
message can you open some graphical application, such as xclock??

 I'm a first time user and I couldn't find anything to help me with my
 problem in the archives so I hope one of you will be able to help me.

 When trying to run a simulation the following appears;

 nam: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

 But I have set all the paths.

 Hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on the problem. Any help
 would be gratefully appreciated.

 Kind regards,

Re: [ns] RSSI measurement

2006-10-18 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Hi Svilen, thanks for the answer!

I will take a look at the method you said. Regarding your question, yes. I'm
working on a handoff protocol for Bluetooth. An essential point of the
protocol is the constant RSSI measurement between base stations and mobile
devices.

I am working with UCBT, which seems that does not implement RSSI measurement
between nodes. Now I am taking a better look at NS and how UCBT is
integrated to it in order to derive some way of making the RSSI
measurements...

Do you have some experience with modeling of localization experiments?? I
would be great if I could exchange some ideas with someone with some
expertise on this field...

Regards,

Loreno

 Hi,

 I do not know a tcl command about this. But you might want to look at
 WirelessPhy::sendUp, the received power Pr (in watt) is computed there
 regardless of the propagation model in use.

 Do you want to use RSSI for localization experiments in ns-2?

 Greetings,
 Svilen

Re: [ns] R: RSSI measurement

2006-10-18 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Hi Marco, very thanks to your reply!

I will take a look at the structure you said and doing some tests. Based in
what you said, probably this solves my problem. A priori I am only
considering simpler scenarios where I do not need to deal with
interferences. My actual concern is only finding a way of estimating the
distance between two bluetooth devices, and I thought RSSI was the
straingforward solution...

 Loreno,

 in common/packet-stamp.h you can find the PacketStamp
 structure, which is
 included in any ns packet. It stores information on
 the transmitted and received
 power. You can access this information
 with, for example,  p-txInfo_.RxPr,
 which returns the received power
 of packet p. Note that the original implementation
 of ns does not
 include interference: if you want to add this feature, you can install
 the patch for wireless support you can find at http://www.reti.polito.

If using xgraph is not a need, you may try gnuplot for ploting your
graphs...

[ns] NS2 + UCBT

2006-10-12 Thread Loreno Oliveira

Hi list,

sorry for this message. I know this is not the apropriate list for
discussing external NS modules, but the UCBT list seems to be no more
active, and I hope there are people here with some experience with UCBT.

Well, I have reproduced, using NS2 + UCBT, a scenario whose I have performed
some tests using real bluetooth devices. The problem is that the behavior
presented by UCBT is rather different from the behavior verified
empirically. Does anybody can help me with some hint of where, and how,
should I modify UCBT for modeling the bluetooth features I need to deal
with??

Thanks in advance!

Loreno
