IS it possible to simulate Manet protocols over LTE and CDMA??

[mail2sa...@gmail.com]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to know is it possible to simulate a CDMA and LTE network environment in Ns3 to compare the performance of Manet protocols over these 2 netowrks???

If it so, Could anyone let me know how to do that???like what are the files I can use  to do ?? like (Manet-compare.cc).

Please let me know if it not possible to simulate CDMA and LTE networks..

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi,

first and foremost, use less question marks. One is more than enough.

Second, CDMA is a term to indicate a way to transit signals over the air and arbitrate between different users. It does NOT name a technology. E.g., UMTS can use CDMA (LTE doesn't). Naming LTE and CDMA in the same sentence is like saying "I have a Diesel engine and a Ford Lexus".

Third, MANET protocols are multi-hop. CDMA is used (mainly) in cellular communication systems, which are 1-hop. LTE is a cellular technology too, and it is 1-hop. The standard bodies are just started to think (let alone produce some documents) about multi-hop LTE and only for some extremely specific cases.

Now, your question is: "Please let me know if it not possible to simulate CDMA and LTE networks."

The problem is: what you ask does not make any possible sense. It is not a ns-3 limitation, the problem is that you asked "I have an apple and a screwdriver. My friend told me that tomorrow is her birthday. Should I use a raincoat or an umbrella?".

I guess that this could be a simple case of misunderstanding. As a consequence, mind if I ask to explain your questions a bit better next time ?

Thanks,
