WI-MAX MODULE FOR NS 2.28 SIMULATOR

 Introduction

The Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) is a popular discrete event simulator target at networking research. This tool can suport simulation of TCP, routing, and MAC protocols over wired and wireless networks. Although it's possible to simulate wireless local area network (IEEE 802.11), ad hoc networks and satellites networks, ns does not provide a WiMAX module. This project implements a WiMAX module based on the IEEE 802.16 standard for the ns-2 simulator, release 2.28. The focus of this implementation is the MAC layer and its mechanisms for bandwidth allocation and QoS support. The module implements the 802.16 five service flow types and their bandwidth request/grant mechanisms; moreover, it allows users to configure the QoS requirements of applications. Service flows are modeled by finite sate machines that capture how each service type react to different events. This module supports TDD mode and PMP topology. The wireless channel available in the ns-2 simulator is used. The module design was based on a module (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1273047) designed to simulate the DOCSIS standard. Although code reuse was possible, several modifications in the DOCSIS module code were necessary to make it compliant to the IEEE 802.16 standard.

Installation

To install the patch, follow the instructions below:

  • Download the software ns-allinone-2.28 package
  • Download the latest ns-2 WiMAX module source code.
  •  Unzip the ns-2 WiMAX module source code file.
  • Put the files from "mac" directory into ns-allinone-2.28\ns-2.28\mac.
  • Put the files which are in common and tcl respectively into ns-allinone-2.28\ns-2.28\common and ns-allinone-2.28\ns-2.28\tcl.
  • Modify the Makefile.in as follows;After the sentence mac/mac-802_3.o add:
  1. mac/mac-802_16-base.o mac/mac-802_16-ss.o mac/mac-802_16-bs.o \
  2. mac/mac-802_16-FSM.o mac/mac-802_16-timers.o \

  • Go to the ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28 directory and execute "./configure", "make clean" and "make".

Link State Routing Protocol

Link state routing is a method in which each router shares its neighborhood’s knowledge with every other router on the internetwork. In this algorithm, each router in the network understands the network topology and then makes a routing table depending on this topology. Each router will share data about its connection to its neighbor, who will, consecutively, reproduce the data to its neighbors, etc. This appears just before all routers have constructed a topology of the network. In LSP, each node transmits its IP address and the MAC to its neighbor with its signature. Neighbors determine the signature and maintain a record of the combining IP address and the MAC. The Neighbor Lookup Protocol (NLP) of LSP derives and maintains the MAC and IP address of every network frame accepted by a node. The extracted data can support the mapping of MACs and IP addresses. The link-state flooding algorithm prevents the general issues of broadcast in the existence of loops by having every node mainta

HP NETWORK SIMULATOR: A COMWARE OS LEARNING TOOL

  Comware v7 is a network operating system that runs on HP high-end network devices. The HP Network Simulator is an ideal Comware v7 learning tool, which allows users to create, configure, and connect simulated networks. Benefits Beginners  – The HP Network Simulator tool is helpful for users who are new to networking and want to learn how to configure network devices (switches, routers), various topologies, or different routing and switching protocols and features. Experienced users  – The HP Network Simulator learning tool is helpful for users who have experience with non-HP networking devices and want to learn the Comware CLI and features. Extra devices  – Users can create devices using the HP Network Simulator and use them with their physical devices to configure and test topologies that aren’t configurable with just the physical devices they have. For example – A user wants to configure OSPF using 3 or more devices but has only 1 physical router. User can create 2 or more routers
