Parameters for 802.11b on NS 2.33/802.11Ext

[rvannier ()]

Does anyone have good parameters to simulate a 802.11b interface card with the new 802.11Ext layer ?

I tried to use the parameters I used in NS-2.31, but the results now are very different (mainly because there is no more RXTresh_). With these parameters, nodes can communicate even at carrier sensing range (although the carrier sensing range should be 2 to 3 times the communication range). So I tried with the default Phy/WirelessPhyExt parameters and the results are similar (but for the communication range, since the transmission power changes)

These are the parameters I use. They were taken from the specifications of an Avaya card :

set val(chan)           Channel/WirelessChannel    ;#Channel Type
set val(prop)           Propagation/TwoRayGround   ;# radio-propagation model
set val(netif)          Phy/WirelessPhyExt            ;# network interface type
set val(mac)            Mac/802_11Ext                ;# MAC type
set val(ifq)            Queue/DropTail/PriQueue    ;# interface queue type
set val(ll)             LL                         ;# link layer type
set val(ant)            Antenna/OmniAntenna        ;# antenna model
set val(ifqlen)         50                         ;# max packet in ifq

 Phy/WirelessPhyExt set CSThresh_     6.309573444801943e-12
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set Pt_           0.031
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set freq_         2.457e9
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set L_            1.0
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set bandwidth_    11e6
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set trace_dist 400;
Phy/WirelessPhyExt set BasicModulationScheme_ 0        ;# BPSK

Mac/802_11Ext  set dataRate_ 11Mb
Mac/802_11Ext  set CWMin_                 31
Mac/802_11Ext  set CWMax_                 1023
Mac/802_11Ext  set SlotTime_              0.000020
Mac/802_11Ext  set SIFS_                  0.000010
Mac/802_11Ext  set PreambleLength_        144
Mac/802_11Ext  set PLCPHeaderLength_      48
Mac/802_11Ext  set PLCPDataRate_          1.0e6
Mac/802_11Ext  set RTSThreshold_          2000
Mac/802_11Ext  set ShortRetryLimit_       7
Mac/802_11Ext  set LongRetryLimit_        4


Thanks for your help !

Hello!
I have the same question,
maybe someone could help?

Thanks
