AODV - Part 2

Finding the node position, energy and speed of the node while it is forwarding a packet.

By default, these codes are not there in AODV, so we are going to modify or append in AODV protocol..


Steps
Step 1:

Open aodv.h and aodv.cc, these two files will be modified

Step 2:

Declare variables in aodv.h file in protected mode


double xpos,ypos,zpos,energy_t;

int n_speed;

MobileNode *t_node;

FILE *fp;


Step 3:

initialize these values inside the constrctor of aodv.cc file


xpos=ypos=zpos=0.0;

n_speed=0;

energy_t=0.0;

fp=fopen("runtime.dat","w");

Step 4:

add the following statements to the forward() function of aodv.cc

fprintf(fp,"Position is X, Y, Z, Node Speed,Energy\n");

t_node=(MobileNode*)(Node::get_node_by_address(index));

((MobileNode*) t_node)->getLoc(&xpos,&ypos,&zpos);

fprintf(fp,"%d %f %f %f",index,xpos,ypos,zpos);

t_node=(MobileNode*)(Node::get_node_by_address(index));

n_speed=((MobileNode*)t_node)->speed();

energy_t=t_node->…

Lecture 11 - AODV - Part 1
Todays topic on AODV protocol

AODV - Adhoc Ondemand Distance Vector
the location of the source code for Aodv is in the folder

~ns-2.35/aodv/

My suggestion is
Always try to understand the header file first.. later you can move on to source file (.cc files)
I will go through aodv.h file first and then aodv.cc file next....
let me explain....

I should know where my work is residing, for example in AODV

should I work on


Routing TableEnergy ManagementQuality oif ServiceLink FailureLogs or tracingNeighbour managementAttacks (Black hole, gray hole, etc...)Security
so prefer to stay at the header files first...
Now the action begins.
how do i modify the AODV protocol as per my small piece of algorithm...
I would like to print the nodes that are forwarding the packets.
Two information will be recorded in a text file separately..

Name of the file: aodv_output.dat data recorded will be: forwarded packet, node index (node number).

For this, please open the aodv.h and aod…

To create an new Agent in NS2 that describes the OTcl and C++ linkages

We know that the file is stored in the folder
~ns-2.35/pradeep/tspagent.cc

Open the file ns-2.35/Makefile.in and make an entry of your own file (in this case, it is tspagent.cc

Find a vairable inside the Makefile.in called

OBJ_CC=

and make an entry there as shown below pradeep/tspagent.o \

Save the file and open a terminal, go to the folder ~ns-2.35/ and execute the command one by one

$] ./configure
$] make

Correct any mistakes or errors in your .cc file and run the above commands.
Successful OTcl and C++ linkages....

Thank you and Stay tuned for more lectures

Next lecture will be on AODV protocol and its modification.

Performance Evaluation of Adhoc Routing Protocols using NS2

Very old Project as well as a topic, but this will give an idea of how to compare multiple protocols or agents.

1 hour Project*

See the video for the full project


* - you should know ns2 already
should know how to write AWK scripts
Should know about energy model
Should know about wireless networks and protocols

To know the above concepts, check my Ns2 Lecture series videos in Youtube and come back to this video

Lcture 8 - AWK Scripts
Average throughput
Instant throughput
Residual Energy
Packet Delivery ratio

To download the source codes, visit https://www.nsnam.com

Going inside the project

Step 1:
Use the same network and same disntace, energy, etc when you compare multiple protocols

Step 2:
Generate Scenario, You need not write the code in TCL (of course you can modif…

This is one of the important in ns2 as we are going to analyse the performance metrics of the network

In this session, we are going to see the following metrics.

1. Average Throughput

2. instant Throughput

3. Packet Delivery Ratio

4. Residual Energy of the nodes.


A - Aho

W - Weinberger

K - Keninghan


Easy to implement and process.

In ns2, new trace format, there could be as many as 52 columns. Each column specify some parameters. Viewers are requested to go through these parameters through the documentation.

in aAWK,

$1 refers 1st column

$2 refers 2nd column and so on...


awk can be run using either of these commands

$] awk -f filename.awk filename.tr

or
$] gawk -f filename.awk filename.tr

Average throughput is done

You can download this source code in https://www.nsnam.com

Instant Throughput

with two values to plot the characteristics.

Residual Energy of the individual nodes AND ALSO THE AVERAGE RESIDUAL ENERGY OF ALL NODES.

We have seen four awk scripts
