When you say "addresses of Access Points", I assume you mean the MAC address of the Access Point. This can be easily determined from the packet capture. The Beacon frame contains the "Source Address" field which contains the MAC address of the device transmitting the beacon frames.

Thank you very much for your reply. But as I am new to ns3, therefore I am facing difficulty to code it. If possible, then please help me to know how to code it.

You have to go through the tutorial. There are plenty of examples in the source code folder, that you can try for yourself.

This example code will show you how to setup a WiFi channel: https://www.nsnam.org/doxygen/third_8cc_source.html
