2、 in ns Simulation Scenario Home Work 2,Sharif university of Technology,3/23,Random Walk Mobility Model,Since many entities in nature move in extremely unpredictable ways, the Random Walk Mobility Model was developed to mimic this erratic movement In this mobility model, an MN moves from its current

3、location to a new location by randomly choosing a direction and speed in which to travel The new speed and direction are both chosen from pre-defined ranges, speedmin; speedmax and 0;2p respectively,Sharif university of Technology,4/23,Random Walk Mobility Model,Each movement in the Random Walk Mobi

4、lity Model occurs in either a constant time interval t or a constant distance traveled d, at the end of which a new direction and speed are calculated If an MN which moves according to this model reaches a simulation boundary, it “bounces” off the simulation border with an angle determined by the in

5、coming direction The MN then continues along this new path,Sharif university of Technology,5/23,Outline,Random Walk Mobility Model Random Waypoint Mobility Model Network Simulator Mobile Networking in ns Simulation Scenario Home Work 2,Sharif university of Technology,6/23,Random Waypoint Mobility Mo

6、del (RWPM),The Random Waypoint Mobility Model includes pause times between changes in direction and/or speed An MN begins by staying in one location for a certain period of time (i.e., a pause time) Once this time expires, the MN chooses a random destination in the simulation area and a speed that i

7、s uniformly distributed between minspeed, maxspeed,Sharif university of Technology,7/23,Random Waypoint Mobility Model (RWPM),The MN then travels toward the newly chosen destination at the selected speed Upon arrival, the MN pauses for a specified time period before starting the process again We not

8、e that the movement pattern of an MN using the Random Waypoint Mobility Model is similar to the Random Walk Mobility Model if pause time is zero and minspeed, maxspeed = speedmin, speedmax,Sharif university of Technology,8/23,Outline,Random Walk Mobility Model Random Waypoint Mobility Model Network

9、Simulator Mobile Networking in ns Simulation Scenario Home Work 2,Sharif university of Technology,9/23,Network Simulator (NS),ns is an object oriented simulator, written in C+, with an OTcl interpreter as a frontend The simulator supports a class hierarchy in C+ (also called the compiled hierarchy i

10、n this document), and a similar class hierarchy within the OTcl interpreter (also called the interpreted hierarchy in this document) The two hierarchies are closely related to each other; from the users perspective, there is a one-to-one correspondence between a class in the interpreted hierarchy an

11、d one in the compiled hierarchy The root of this hierarchy is the class TclObject,Sharif university of Technology,10/23,Network Simulator (NS),Users create new simulator objects through the interpreter; these objects are instantiated within the interpreter, and are closely mirrored by a correspondin

12、g object in the compiled hierarchy The interpreted class hierarchy is automatically established through methods defined in the class TclClass user instantiated objects are mirrored through methods defined in the class TclObject,Sharif university of Technology,11/23,Why two languages?,ns uses two lan

13、guages because simulator has two different kinds of things it needs to do On one hand, detailed simulations of protocols requires a systems programming language which can efficiently manipulate bytes, packet headers, and implement algorithms that run over large data sets For these tasks run-time spe

14、ed is important and turn-aroundtime (run simulation, find bug, fix bug, recompile, re-run) is less important,Sharif university of Technology,12/23,Why two languages?,On the other hand, a large part of network research involves slightly varying parameters or configurations, or quickly exploring a num

15、ber of scenarios In these cases, iteration time (change the model and re-run) is more important Since configuration runs once (at the beginning of the simulation), run-time of this part of the task is less important,Sharif university of Technology,13/23,Why two languages?,ns meets both of these need

16、s with two languages, C+ and OTcl C+ is fast to run but slower to change, making it suitable for detailed protocol implementation OTcl runs much slower but can be changed very quickly (and interactively), making it ideal for simulation configuration,Sharif university of Technology,14/23,Which langua

17、ge for what?,Having two languages raises the question of which language should be used for what purpose Our basic advice is to use OTcl: for configuration, setup, and “one-time” stuff if you can do what you want by manipulating existing C+ objects and use C+:if you are doing anything that requires p

You simulate a scenario and obtain its result with mobility model that exist
