HWMP realization in ns2

[kirillano]

Hi!

We are the team of developers from Wireless Software Research & Development Group of Institute of Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

We are going to make a complete model for wireless mesh networking.
At this moment we have made a basic realization of Hybrid Wireless mesh protocol (HWMP) in accordance with standard IEEE802.11s Draft 1.07 released in September 2007.
We would like you to look at our changes and give us your opinion about them. (and hopefully, add our code to the main ns2 distribution)

Now our HWMP model does not implement the following things yet:
1. We have not implemented peer-link management and PERR messages (because link failure appears in peer-link management only).
2. We have not implemented multiple-destination path requests.
3. We have not written a validate tests and documentation. (though the code has many comments and some references to the 802.11s draft; and the code has been tested in some static topologies)
All this features we are going to implement in the nearest future, and we will follow all changes in IEEE802.11s.

The source code of HWMP can be sent to you with all available documentation and tests as soon as you request.

Best regards.
Kirill V. Andreev,
Andrey I. Mazo

Kirill and Andrey,

Sorry for the late reply.  There is a path for inclusion of new code
into future ns-2 releases, but it involves posting code publicly for
review, making the code available under a GPLv2-compatible license, and
following commit guidelines outlined here in the "New modules" section:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Commit_Guidelines

Also, have you considered to try to contribute code to ns-3
(http://www.nsnam.org), which is under more active development these days?

Regards,
Tom

Hi,

I'm a student from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain. I'm doing my proyect end of studies about WMN. I want to include a chapter about simulation tools and I'd like to now about your module in ns-2 for HWMP. Could you send any information?

Best Regards,

Yolanda

Dear ns-2 developer,

My name is Baldomero Coll and I am a researcher of the University Miguel Hernandez in
Elche (Spain).

I have currently started a research project on multi-hop cellular communications where I
am targeting to use as one of the underlying multi-hop technologies IEEE 802.11s.
I wonder if you could let me know if 802.11s code is avaible and if it is true, where i
could download it?

Thank you very much
Baldomero Coll

Hi,

I am currently quite intrested in the 802.11s Mesh Networking. Can I have a look at your code? Where can i download it?

Thank you very much.

We are very sorry for the delay and late reply but we've had very busy period of time due to BS preparations.

Thanks for the useful link.
Of course, we understand the reasons and agree to provide our code under GPLv2-compatible license.

We suppose to do the following:
0) Make our code more readable and more commented
1) Publish our code (as a patch to ns-2.33, patched snapshot and probably patch against trunk of ns2) on our institute's website
to allow developers to look at our code and to state first comments.
2) Write some more scripts for demonstration.
3) Commit the code to the ns2-repository
4) Start writing short documentation

As soon as we publish our code on our website, we'll provide you with links to it.

In long run we are going to port our code to ns-3, but we assume, that it won't be done earlier than September.

Best regards,

hello
 I'm working on WMNs..
I'm loocking for the IEEE 802.11s part in ns2 for my project
where can i get it ??
what is the specification needed for ns2 and for linux

thanks a lot...

Hi hajsou,
             I too work with WMN for my Masters academic project. I'm really in need of the details how to work with 802.11s part with ns2. Kindly share it with me if you received any kind of information.

Thanks,

Hi Kirillano,
             Hope you are doing good. Every one in need of knowing about the 802.11s standard and how it has to be implemented in NS2. No one is giving good idea. Pls we would appricate if you could share the available informations.
