For those interested in WiMAX simulation, in this page http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/wimax_ns2/ you can download an WiMAX module for the ns-2 simulator. The focus of this implementation is the MAC layer and its mechanisms for bandwidth allocation and QoS support.

Juliana.

Dear Juliana,

Thank u so much for ur attention! The topic of my thesis is "Load Balancing with Handover in Mobile WiMAX".

Do u think this module help me in remain steps! For example, using different service classes? such as (UGS,RTPS,NRTPS and BE?)

 

Regards,

camellia Askarian

You can simulate different service classes, but handover is not implemented in this module.

so, can I add it?

 

can u suggest me a suitable module regarding my issue?

Hi Juliana,

I have installed ns-2.34 on Ubuntu 11.04. Is it possible for you to provide the WiMAX patch for the version 2.34? If it is available then please provide me the procedure too.

Regards,

Priya 

Unfortunately, I don't have a patch for ns 2.34. 

Regards,

Juliana.  

Hi Camellia Askarian,

Can you please send me the step by step procedure of the installation of ns-2.28 in linux environment as well as installation of WiMAX module in it? My mail id is: priyamohanty1986@gmail.com. Kindly mail me as soon as possible.

Dear Juliana,

I have successfully run NS2.28 and WiMax module! But I can not run the examples!

One of them is: num node is set 6, wrong node routing agent

Hi Juliana,

I installed WiMAX moudule on ns-2.28 successfully. When I tried running 'example.tcl', i got the below error:

xyz@xyz-Presario-V3000-GN367PA-ACJ:~/ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28$ ns example.tcl
invalid command name "Mac/802_16BS"
    while executing
"Mac/802_16BS set window_ 0.05"
    (file "example.tcl" line 36)

Please help me in correcting this.

Dear Juliana/Camellia Askarian,

I installed ns-2.28 successfully on Ubuntu 11.04. I downloaded the WiMAX module from the website that you have mentioned i.e., "http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/wimax_ns2/ ". After copying all the files of WiMAX module to ns-2.28 (mac, common and tcl folder) i did ./configure, make clean and make in ns-2.28. The make file was recomplied successfully and I got the .o files of all the newly added wimax files. But when I try to run the example.tcl provided in the wimax module, I get the error:

xyz@xyz-Presario-V3000-GN367PA-ACJ:~/ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28$ ns example.tcl
invalid command name "Mac/802_16BS"
    while executing
"Mac/802_16BS set window_ 0.05"
    (file "example.tcl" line 36)

The tcl script is probably not invoking the function to execute this! Please provide me the solution or work around for this. I need it urgently for my project.

Thanks.

 I seems that the module was not correctly included in ns. Have you replaced the file ns-2.28/tcl/lib/ns-mobilenode.tcl by the one provided with our module? Have the mac-802_16*.cc files been compiled (check whether the mac-802_16*.o files are in the ns-2.28/mac folder)?

After installation of the module and running the command make clean and make, I checked the mac folder in ns-2.28, the .o files for all the .cc files that you have provided in the module. Also, I have replaced the files in tcl/lib in ns-2.28 with tcl files available in the wimax module.

Juliana,

After adding the wimax module when I ran ./configure, make clean and make, the Makefile.in was successfully recompiled and i got the .o files for the following .cc files of the wimax module:

mac-802_16-base.cc - mac-802_16-base.o

mac-802_16-bs.cc - mac-802_16-bs.o

mac-802_16-FSM.cc - mac-802_16-FSM.o

mac-802_16-ss.cc - mac-802_16-ss.o

mac-802_16-timers.cc - mac-802_16-timers.o

And the files for which .o file did not create are - mac-802_16.h and hdr-802_16.h

I have also added both the tcl/lib files in wimax modules to ns-2.28 tcl/lib path
