ns2-mob.log and ns2-mobility-trace.cc in ns3

[Imene Boucetta]

HI,

so , i executed ns2-mobility-trace.cc in examples/mobility with my own file default.ns_movements (I've changed the extension .tcl to .ns2-mobility-trace.cc ) , it generate a file named ns2-mob.log.


my question is how to use the file generated in ns3 (simulation of the mobility) is there any tutorials or sites that explain it ?


Thank you very much.


Cordially

Dear Imene,

What do you want to do? If you just wanted to use the ns-2 mobility file (.tcl file) inside ns-3 so that the nodes will move based on the ns-2 file, then you have done it.

You do not need to do something else with the ns2-mob.log. This is just an output from the ns2-mobility-trace.cc file that prints the position of the nodes. 

Regards,

Konstantinos

yes but when i tried to show mobility with netanim , it doesn't work it stays static :( and the nodes are not mobile , why ?

which file do you use in netanim and are you sure that the .tcl file has moving nodes?

[imene boucetta]

i used ns2-mobility-trace.cc in examples & for the tcl trace file i'm sure
nodes are moving , to ensure i would like to join you my .tcl file but it's to large for google groups i see so how ?  , i don't know how to use
ns-2  to verify it by my self but when reading the file i think it's moving

So, in order to visualize it in NetAnim add the following in the source code:

#include "ns3/netanim-module.h"

 AnimationInterface anim ("netanim-file.xml");

and in NetAnim open the netanim-file.xml that is created.

[imene boucetta]

i did it with netanim and the nodes doesn't move ....... is there a possible probleme in converting tcl trace file to ns-3 with ns2-mobility trace ?

2013/4/11 Konstantinos <dinos.k...@gmail.com>

[Konstantinos]

No, there is no problem with that. There are a lot of people using it (me included).

There are some limitations in the commands that ns2mobilityhelper can parse which are included in the documentation.

mmmm i used it for 360 nodes and 1000 micro-seconds of simulation ....10000 m and 4 lanes ....(VANET's) :

there is an extract from my tcl file :

http://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/classns3_1_1_ns2_mobility_helper.html

Valid trace files use the following ns2 statements:

  $node set X_ x1
  $node set Y_ y1
  $node set Z_ z1
  $ns at $time $node setdest x2 y2 speed
  $ns at $time $node set X_ x1
  $ns at $time $node set Y_ Y1
  $ns at $time $node set Z_ Z1

It seems that you have " .. " (quotes) so the file might not be parsed correctly. This should be outputted in the console when you run the problem.

something like "unrecognised command"

[imene boucetta]

ok i'll try it thanks , i must read it carefully ... just a little question what it x2 and y2 ?

2013/4/11 Konstantinos <dinos.k...@gmail.com>

[Konstantinos]

Read the documentation I posted. It's just the destination position of the node (x2, y2)

[imene boucetta]

ok ok thank you very much Kanstantinos ^_^ i'll try it after completing the documentation

Hi Imene,

The format of the trace file is OK.

Now you need to do the following for loading the .ns_movements that contains the mobility trace for your ns-3 simulation:

    string traceFile = "folder_trace_file_in_your_disk.ns_movements";
    Ns2MobilityHelper ns2 = Ns2MobilityHelper(traceFile);
    ns2.Install();

Hi,

I am using ns2 mobility helper but when i run the command
./waf --run "scratch/ns2-mobility-trace --traceFile=/home/rishu/mobility.tcl --nodeNum=150 --duration=90.0 –logFile=/home/rish/main-ns2-mob.log"

the file main-ns2-mob.log is not created and then when i open the .xml file in Netanim...no nodes show up and the simulation completes...???

[imene boucetta]

hi,

try to change the extention (.tcl) to (.ns_movements) and try to put it in the scratch folder ;)

Cordially

[Rishu Chhabra]

i did that and also copied it to scratch still no main-ns2-mob.log??? please guide me with this

[Rishu Chhabra]

in which file do we need to add this code????

string traceFile = "folder_trace_file_in_your_

[imene boucetta]

Hi

I think you(ll fined ns-mob.log in ns-3.XX folder and not in the scratch folder ... have a look if you used ns2-mobility-trace :)

Hello,

Can you please help me regarding: include the mobility file in LTE implimentation. 

I want to add this mobility file during "NodeContainer ueNodes" and extract node to establish the connectivity with enb node.

Thanks,

Deepak

[imene boucetta]

Hi,
it have been far i didn't use ns 3 , but the ns mobility trace generate a file that we can't use, but you can write a program and visualize your traffic (exchanged packet) in your simulation for me it was (nam).

if any question please e-mail me ^_^

Best Regards

Hi, I tried running the following command:

./waf --run "ns2-mobility-trace --traceFile=mobility.tcl --nodeNum=150 --duration=90.0 --logFile=main-ns2-mob.log"

The problem is that the log file is generated but I didn't get any animation file ("animation.xml") to run. I tried looking up for the file on the system but couldn't locate it any where. Even tried restarting the system and looking for it.

I have already included the following command in the ns2-mobility-trace.cc :

 #include "ns3/netanim-module.h"

  ns3::AnimationInterface anim ("animation.xml");

Hi,

You could try put the ns3::AnimationInterface.anim("animation.xml"); just before Simulator::Run();.

Best,
