Flying Adhoc Network Simulation (FANET) using NS3

In this post, we will see how to simulation a Flying Adhoc Network (FANET) simulation using NS3. 

Its actually MANET with 3D mobility Model called Gauss Markov Mobility Model. 

See the following video for more details and explanation:

So all the nodes are flying in a 3D Fashion with X axis, Y Axis and Z Axis 

The default values of the three axes are 
X axis can be (-100m, 100m)
Y axis can be (-100m, 100m)
Z axis can be (0m, 100m)

We will take the following example for experimenting the Flying Adhoc Networks. To begin with, We use the following parameters for Simulation:
The name of the File is fanetex.cc

The source code above explains the Flying Adhoc Networks in 3D using the Gauss Markov model. The RED code indicates its a 2D model and the BLUE code indicates the 3D mobility model.

How to run this file:
Step 1: Copy the above file in the folder ~ns-3.31/scratch
Step 2: Open the terminal 

$] cd ns-allinone-3.31/ns-3.31/
$] ./waf --run scratch/fanetex

To See the animation:

$] ../netanim-3.108/NetAnim
and do as per the instructions in the video
