[ns] Long-distance transmission ranges

Hello All, Is it possible to simulate long-distance wireless transmission links (up to 10km) using ns-2.35? All examples I have found refer to short indoor or outdoor distances, most up to 550m. Using the threshold independent tool, I tried to figure out the correct values for Pt_, RXThresh_ CSTh

[ns] Scheduling events from pthread application

Hello, I am developing a distributed system in ns-2, where mobile nodes run a pthreaded application (lets call it app) that is able to talk to the routing agent directly and broadcast or unicast packets on demand. The app can successfully start an ragent's timer to broadcast beacon packets at so

[ns] Simulating a simple application that does not send/receive data messages

Dear ns-users, I am experimenting with ns-2 in order to understand if I can eventually use it to my project. Here is how I describe my idea: Some mobile nodes move around a terrain and make use of the wireless network to exchange some FTP/TCP data between sources and destinations using AODV. He

[ns] ns2 cross-layering

Hello list, I am working on a routing protocol and I'd like it to have access to things such as packet's signal strength, IFq size, signal-to-interference ratio, bit error rate, packet error rate, etc. Do you have any cross-layer (MAC,PHY-NET) approach to suggest? Any documentation, examples, tu

[ns] Packet colors.

Hello list, I am implementing a self-healing routing protocol for ring topologies on ns-2.23. My header has a field "type_" which is set to indicate four different types of packets that the protocol can handle. For instance, one type is DIAGN(ostics) and one other is DIAGN_ACK. Is there an ea
