Problem with send information from each node to the sink (MixiM and Ieee802154Narrow)

[Amene Deljoo]

Hi all
I am using the Ieee802154narrow as my base network. I modified this sample. My problem is when I add more nodes to the config part and set the destination address, it dose not work properly.  I want all the node send the data to the sink node but they donot. please see the code. I am wondering if anybody can help me. This code works fine with two nodes.

in ini file I adjust these lines
*.node[2].netwl.destination = 0
*.node[1].netwl.destination = 0
*.node[3].netwl.destination = 0
*.node[4].netwl.destination = 0
should I change in other part of code?

[Thomas Menzel]

Hi,

where did you put the line with the wildcard, i.e. *.node[*].netwl.destination ?

The order in the ini-file is important. Check the subsection "Precendence" of Section  "Using Wildcard Patterns" of the Omnet Manual.

Thanks, I put them in .ini file. I'll check it thanks.

[Config Test2-C]
extends = Test2-A
description = "one sending host stationary in range of sink (hidden station), \
               one host moving towards sink and stationary sender,\
               with mac ACKS"
*.numHosts = 4
**.netwl.packetsPerPacketTime = 0.125
*.node[2].mobility.initialX = 480m
*.node[2].mobility.initialY = 250m
*.node[2].netwl.burstSize = 1
*.node[1].netwl.destination=0
*.node[*].netwl.destination=0

this is the config part in omnet.ini I got the same result.

as you see each node will send the information to the other node which they are in the same range.
please help me I do not know how to figure out it.
thanks

[Amene Deljoo]

Any suggestion?

[Michael Kirsche]

Are all your nodes within range of the actual sink?
If they are not, then they cannot send their messages to the sink. Can't know for sure with the ini fragment that you've given.

[Amene Deljoo]

Actually I do not know all nodes within range of sink or not. How can I check it?

[Amene Deljoo]

Dear Michael
I enabled the  r¨ tag in .ned file. I think they are in the same transmission range. please have a look at the picture.
the other thing is that, node(0) is sending the ACK to the other nodes.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

[Michael Kirsche]

Sorry but I can't see anything in that screen shot.
The resolution is just to low to make out any of the node names... make sure that you either take a separate screen shot of just the OMNeT window or post-process your original screen shot so that only the OMNeT window is larger and visible.

[Thomas Menzel]

In your log (sent on Sept. 3rd), node 0 is sending acks to nodes 1,2,3. Thus, what are you missing?

Thomas

[Amene Deljoo]

Thanks, I would like to connect each node directly to node 0.

[Thomas Menzel]

But isn't this happening?

[Amene Deljoo]

 NO.

[Amene Deljoo]

I also added this line in the Test2-c config in omnet.ini but it dose not work. Any help will be appreciated

*.node[*].netwl.destination = 0
