Hi,
I tried your patch in Fedora 10. But it is not working. Please help me. How to install sensorsim in fedora 10. Thanks in advance.

by
shyam

Fedora 10 has a higher version of gcc than the one in Fedora 8.

To use this patch either you can try installing Fedora 8's gcc in Fedora 10 or else you can switch from Fedora 10 to Fedora 8.

Hope it helps.

Hi ,
What if I am using ns 2.34 and simulator is on Ubuntu 9.10 . would this patch work ?
Thanks in advance ..

Thanks ,
Janmesh

No this patch wont work because of several reasons:

1. NRL Sensorsim patch was designed for ns2.1b, ns2.26 and ns2.27 versions.

2. Ubuntu 9.10 has a higher gcc version than that of Fedora 8.

Hope it helps.

Regards

i just wanted to know about patch files...can u tell me what is patch...y v need that...how to use that...becoz im using ns 2.34 for simulating cellular 3gpp networks....and im new to ns2....so plz help me

Patch files give the difference between two files. Say you have file/folder named A and another file/folder named B which was same as A but we made bit modifications as per our requirements. Now we want to incorporate same modifications in A as well. So there is no need to redo the entire procedure. Instead we can create a patch file (which will give difference between A and B) and apply it to A.

To know more about how to create a patch file (its very simple - just few commands u need to know) please visit following link:

http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/163/how-to-create-patch-file-using-patch-and-diff/

can u help me out of this error....

U need to go in following directory

ns-allinone-2.xx/tclcl-xx (where xx is the version number)

and search for the following file

tclcl.h

In the list of header files you wil see the following line:

#include "tclcl-mappings.h"

Cut this line and paste it before the following line:

class InstVar;

This line will be most probably the 45th line of the file.

Hope it helps.

Hello Sir, I am facing some problem in my project. I am doing target (object) tracking in WSN in NS2. What i want is a grid of snesors and when some mobile target passes through sensor range then they must communicate (target is TCP node and sensor are sink). I have written code for just one sensor but somehow only when sensor is at particular position then they are exchanging packets, if sensor position is changed then nothing happen. Please help meout if you have some code for that. I am a student of IIT kanpur and djeswani@iitk.ac.in is my mail id. Please telll me your mail id i will send u my small code so you can help me out.

Hi Mohit,
i tried your patch and worked very well, but i need implement to NS-2.26 BGP module (BGP++,on web:

Again me,
i tried unpack NS-2.26, then patched BGP++ and then applied your steps to patch NS-2.26 .... when i write ./install and pressed enter a got this error:

See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems

It is possible some linux distribution (with gcc 2.95, maybe gcc 3.2.3) to download ?

I need install BGP++ to work for my thesis =(

first i did rpm -e gcc and then
i got 2 files named (1) gcc-3.3.2-2.src.rpm and

gcc3.3-c++ rpm build by the following name called (2) gcc3.3-3.3.6-1pclos2007.src.rpm...

and then i did "rpm -i gcc.xxx.rpm" to install older version of gcc ..is this right? but i got this error...

error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

funally im able to install..thank god and thank u mohit.....
one last question let us say i have installed ns2.31 ...ok...now to run my project i wanted to add apatch file called umts.patch......then i went for ns 2.30/ folder and did"patch -p1 -t < umts.patch " and the i closed that directory....
and then i wrote a code that uses those nodes or agents defined in that patch...but im getting error.....so where i was wrong in applying patch..or did i missed any steps in doing so.......this vil be my last question for u..

ok then i got fixed it.......one more thing buddy
suppose i have 2 nodes between a and b lets say...
i just wanted to plot the band width on the link between a and b...lets say we have tcp agent and cbr traffic running between them.........i just wanted to know how to plot a graph for that bandwidth consumption ...

how to install nrl sensorsim for NS 2.33 in fedora 9...
i am doing project on WSN....
pls help me out...

HAVE U EVER TRY TO INSTALL NS 2.27 ON FEDORA 11
I M FACING SOME TCL.O PROBLEM HELP

No I have not tried installing 2.27 on Fedora 11. What are the problems that you are facing?

@Timothy: NRLSensorsim cannot be installed on ns-2.33 since the basic patch is designed for ns-2.26/ns-2.27. There will be changes required in the original patch of nrlsensorsim.

Hope it helps.

hi plzz help me out.....

lets say i have 4 nodes a,b,c,d...here a and b have udp agents and runs exponential traffic and c and d have loss monitor agent...

these are connected like this
a-------b--------c

d

ok ...here im sending the same packets from a to c abd from a to d...
here i want to find out what is the bandwidth consumption onthe link between the nodes a and b when multiple packets are sent over the link between a and b which are destined to c and d nodes...plzzhelp me out....better with simple tcl script....and tell me how to plot that bandwidth consumption on that link..

hey there is a mistake....in the above post b is connected to d.but not to a....plzz have a look....in the above post by mistake a is connected to d..rectify plzz

otherwise take an example explained in the marc gracies tutorial to plot xgraph.....there i want to plot the bandwidth consumption on the nodes between "0" and "3" or "1 " and "3" or "2" and "3"....this tutorial is available on net...

Hello
I try to install NS2.26 with a pacth SIP on Ubunto9.10
but that does not have to work because of the version of the gcc which is more raised

I want to know which version of Linux is suited in ns2.26 Or how install a version of gcc < 4.01 on ubunto9.10

Thank you very much
Imen :imenkhamessi@yahoo.fr

hi sir
i am doing my project in wsn...i have a sample code in wsn..can u help me how to run the code..should i include the patch in ns2.33

@Imen: ns-2.26 will work well with gcc-3.3. To install this version of gcc you need to download gcc package along with other dependent packages from Ubuntu site.

@Gini: The patch provided in this blog is designed to work with ns-2.26. Which is the sample code that you have? Is it a patch or a tcl script?

Hope it helps.

Mohit P. Tahiliani

Hello Mohit,,, I am facing one problem since 3 days, it drives me crazy... with Fedora core 2 I have installed ns-2.26 the installation was OK but always face (bash: ns: command not found) problem, and i couldn't do any thing, the gcc3.3 already installed there and i think my PATH is ok but not sure, so if u can, from your experience help me out to solve this problem.

Thanks in Advance

Hello Sir, i am working on SIP protocol's performance evaluation in NS2, do you have any idea or suggestion about it..? Its an application layer protocol, i have patched it in ns2 with patch given in RUI PRIOR's homepage(www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~rprior/ns/index-en.html)

the sip patch contains an example tcl file, but it is very simple and i dont know how to modify it or to make it complex. In that tcl file only two proxy and two nodes are present, so no delay or congestion. I tried with adding more no. of nodes to increase the complexity, it worked but didnt help a lot, please suggest anything.

I just want to evaluate certain QoS parameters like, delay, thoughput, control overhead, for SIP protocol. please suggest if anything else i can add.

any kind of help will be highly appreciated, thanks in advance. My email-id is vaibhavmishra07@gmail.com

@Vaibhav - To carry out a performance evaluation, you need to consider and design a standard topology (may be from IEEE Transactions or any other reputed technical bodies). The TCL scripts provided with patches are generally meant only for testing the working of the patch. Rather than modifying it, I would recommend you to design the entire script from scratch as per your requirements.

Hope it helps.

how to install ns2.34 in redhet 5 enterprize version

@Satya - The installation procedure remains same on all Linux operating systems. But you may face few problems if all the necessary packages (like gcc, g++, X11 files, etc) are not installed correctly.

If you encounter any installation errors, you may post your query here!

Regards,
Mohit P. Tahiliani

@Santosh - There is a file named "Intrinsic.h" which is accessed by Otcl's configure file. The error is generated because this file is missing. You need to install X11 packages (Intrinsic.h file is available in these packages). If you are working on Ubuntu install the following packages and their dependent packages (which will be automatically listed out in Synaptic Package Manager):

libx11-dev
libxmu-dev
libxt-dev
libx11-headers-dev

If you are working on any other Linux OS, just install X11 files (including header files).

Hope it helps.

@Wilmarc - Lower versions of NS do not support many new protocols (routing as well as transport) which have been included in latest versions of NS. NRLSensorsim patch is compatible only with ns-2.1bxx, ns-2.26 and ns-2.27. It has not been modified for latest versions of NS-2. Yes, people are still using this patch for WSN simulations.

@Vish - This patch wont work with ns-2.34. You need to modify it further.

@Therocker - You need to go in following directory

ns-allinone-2.xx/tclcl-xx (where xx is the version number)

and search for the following file

tclcl.h

In the list of header files you will see the following line:

#include "tclcl-mappings.h"

Cut this line and paste it before the following line:

class InstVar;

This line will be most probably the 45th line of the file.

Can u give the modification steps for it?

Hello Sir,
We are trying to simulate WSN based on routing(flooding). which ns2 version should i install? Which language i should learn to work on it?

@Vish - I have not yet tried that!

@Manoj - Flooding is available in all versions of NS-2. The basic implementation for WSN is also available in NS-2 (see sensor-nets folder in ns-2 directory). However, specific patches related to WSN are Mannasim and NRLSensorsim. You should be learning C++ and TCL to work with NS-2.

Hope it helps.

Hello sir,
I want to install ns-allinone-2.1b7a in fedora 10 but gcc version of fedora10 is not compatible with ns-allinone-2.1b7a. Now what to do and how to get rid of this problem . I need this ns-allinone-2.1b7a to execute some code implemented in this version.

thanks
sanjoy

@Abdul - It is not an error. It has successfully created a Makefile. Next you need to give following commands:

make

make install

@Asha - These commands will not affect your ns-2 version. These commands are same for all ns-2 versions and are standard Unix commands. Moreover, check whether the LAR patch that you have is compatible with ns-2.35. If not, you cannot install that patch on ns-2.35. You will then have to install a compatible version of NS-2 that supports LAR.

@Sanju - You may have to install a lower version of gcc OR try to correct the installation errors. First choice is a better one if you are not familiar with Linux OS.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Mohit P. Tahiliani

Hi sir

Thanks for ur reply.when i run step.tcl script based on LAR protocol there are sum errors like
loading the mobility file........
couldn't read file: no such file or directory
which type of files i have to put in opt(sc). plz suggest me.

Thanks
Asha Sohal

@Asha - You need to generate mobility file and scenario file using setdest and cbrgen respectively. Go through Section XI of "Marc Greis tutorial" to know details on how to do it. After generating both the files, place them in the same folder where your TCL script is placed and remove the path given in TCL script. Instead just write the name of the files there.

Hope it helps.

This will eliminate "using backward compatible Agent/CBR; use Application/Traffic/CBR instead" warnings.

"ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory" error is occuring because nam is either not installed correctly or the path to nam is not correctly set.

@Kennedy - Verify whether the topology designed is correct. Also verify the post processing method you are using is correct.

@Ghadeer - These are warnings and do not affect your simulation.

Hope it helps.

hallo sir
i want to install obs ns simulator. i want to know that on wich version of linux and on wich version of ns2 it will be installed.

thanks

Hello!
I want to implement CBRP in NS2.
I implemented in NS2.34 (Ubuntu 10.04, gcc-4.3) success but when I run a TCL scenario that incorrect compare theory.
I have supported by a person, and he said that I should implement in NS2.1b5, but I can install NS2.1b5 (Fedora 12 on Virtual Machine, gcc 3.4.3).
Do you know version of Linux and gcc to help me install NS2.1b5?
Thanks!

is there any patch available for wireless sensor network in ns-2.35-RC7 ?

Please give me some example foe wsn in ns2.26

Thank's

@Tuyenhip - The patch provided on this post is for ns-2.26. To install ns-2.27 - this patch will not work. You may try using the patch given on the following link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?oxmqayym5livnrk

@Rohit - You may trying asking a query to OBS-NS's author. Link is given below:

http://www.it.uc3m.es/imyelmo/obs-wlan.html

@Unknown - ns-2.1b5 is very old version of ns2. You can try to install it but it will pop up many errors due to incompatibility with newer gcc versions.

@Hira - No, its not available yet.

@Ghadeer - You can find sample TCL Script for WSN in nrlsensorsim patch for ns2.

Hope it helps.

Mohit P. Tahiliani

Hi Mohit,

Will it be possible for you to create a patch for NS-2.34?? i need it urgently.

Though i tried to install the patch of NS-2.26 by following the manual instructions provided but i am getting lots of error.

Looking ahead to see positive reply for you.

HI

MY SELF MANAS. i am doing some research project in ns-2.34 . like routing protocol analysis, Qos etc , lan simulation. i am analyzing only those routing protocol which are already implemented in ns2(aodv,dsdv,dsr,tora). i want to add my own routing protocol. i studied the c++ code for aodv, but i can not understand the code. CAN U HELP ME OR CAN U PROVIDE ME SOME MATERIAL HOW TO WRITE C++ IN NS2 AND HOW TO RECOMPILE IT.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

@Rahul - It is a time consuming process and hence you may have to wait!

@Manas - Search for the following document:

Implementing a new MANET Unicast Routing Protocol in NS-2.

It is a nice guide to implement a new routing protocol in NS-2.

@Ghadeer - Sorry, I have not worked with that so cant help much!

@Sanjay - Yes you can install it. You may have to resolve all the gcc errors that pop up.

Yes you can port the code written for ns-2.26 to ns-2.34. You may have to make changes manually by going line by line, file by file.

Yes you can install any number of ns2's in same operating system. All that you need to do is keep active one at a time. Copy all the executables (available in ns-allinone-2.xx/bin) of ns2 which you want to make active and paste them in /usr/local/bin

I have not come across any patches for game theory application in MANETs or WSNs. Will post here if found any.

@Shahid - ns-2.1b5 is quite old version of ns2. Current gcc version may not support it. You may have to revert back to older gcc versions to install it.

@SMM - Validation of all tests is not always required. You may just check whether the protocols you need are tested correctly or not. If so, you may start using ns2 without verifying further.

Hope it helps.

How to use the $node at $time setdest in loop....
please help me ....
Thanks

How to use setdest -n -p pausetime -s -t -x -y Source: ns-2
I do not Know how to sue it...

thanks a lot mohit..

is it possible to use cryptography in ns2 sir? is ns2 use real network programming such as socket programming or it just simulation?

@Ghadeer- The following link will be helpful to you:

http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/tutorial/

Section XI is related to your queries.

@Ravi- It can be used as a simulator as well as an emulator. Yes you can use it for cryptography but default allinone package does not provide any features related to it so you need to design your own C++ code.

Hope it helps.

hello sir... I am a new user to this simulator.. currently I am working on different radio propagation models along with fading models in a heterogeneous environment.. so please can you tell me how to interface bluetooth with zigbee and wifi..

hai Mr.Tahiliani. My name is jagan. I am doing project WSN in NS2. Can you tell me how to install ns2.26 in ubuntu 10 or ubuntu 11 version. The above patch is not working with ns2.35. i become mad ( i dont know how to complete my project) bad days for me.. Please help me..

@Nair - As of now you cannot directly interface them in NS-2. You may try to work with NIST patch which interfaces two heterogeneous networks. The patch is available for ns-2.29.

@Jagan - You may try to work with Ubuntu 9.04 as you can easily install ns-2.26 and hence NRLSensorsim patch as well. A patch for NRLSensorsim on ns-2.34/ns-2.35 is in progress.

Hope it helps.

can u help me to remove this error..thank you

@Sharru - In sensoragent.h, just after the header files are included, add the following line:

This should solve your problem.

Hope it helps.

@mohit
si,i added the line,but it did not work.still same error.
thanks for ur help.

Hello Mohit!

Could you please give me some clarification regarding which is better one, either NRLSensorsim or Mannasim? What are the differences between these two tools?

Also, can we try to install nrlsensorsim on ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit OS) and ns-allinnoe-2.35? I am facing some problems even in ns-2.36 and ns-2.27... like

ntax error: Unterminated quoted string
tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

@Sharru - Try

class SensorAgent;

@Manjula - It depends on what type of work you are trying to do in WSNs.

NRLSensorsim is good option if you focusing on routing protocols. Mannasim is a good option if you are working specifically on LEACH or energy related issues.

Since both were made for older versions of ns-2, they will certainly have issues with the recent most GCCs. You will have to go through tedious installation procedure!

Hope it helps.

Mohit P. Tahiliani

can you please help to resolve it...

@Sharru - Comment the following line using a #

puts $namtraceAllFile_ $str

It is just a print line and I believe would not affect your simulation even if you comment it.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

sir actually there is no line like puts-nam-traceall in sample files ...

@Sharru - The fourth line of your error message says that the error is coming from that line itself. Take a look at the error messages, specifically line 2 and line 4.
