Installing ‘lorawan’ extension module version v0.3.1 under ns-3.42

LoRaWAN The LoRa Alliance first defined the LoRaWAN standard with the objective of creating a medium access scheme and a set of network management policies that leverage the properties of […]

Simulation and Analysis of IoT LoRaWAN Networks Under ns-3

Low-power wide-area network (LPWAN). These networks use low-power radio signals, such as those in the sub-1 GHz range, to send small amounts of data over a large area. LPWANs are […]

Creating Random Road Network, Traffic Flows, Signals in SUMO

SUMO has different tools for creating and customizing road networks and traffic flows and traffic signals. In this article, we will use some of those tools available in SUMO to […]

Implementation of Spring Mobility Model for ns-3 and Visualizing it in 3D along with Circle Mobility

Spring Mobility Spring mobility is nothing but making a node to move in a path similar to that of an expanded circular coil spring. From the top or bottom point […]

3D Aquatic Animal Tracking Underwater Network Simulation (UWSN) Under ns-3

Aquatic Animal Tracking: Tracking marine animals can be extremely tricky due to GPS signals not functioning well underwater[1]. Underwater acoustic communication is a technique of sending and receiving messages below […]

Understanding P2P Network Simulation in ns-3 Through the Tutorial Simulation (first.cc)

The file first.cc is the official introductory simulation provided in the officiel ns-3 tutorial. It is deliberately simple, yet it demonstrates all core concepts of ns-3: discrete-event simulation, nodes, links, protocol […]
