Dear All,


I am working on ns-3-lbt module. I have some doubts as mentioned below.

Case 1 :  CellconfigA=Lte CellconfigB=Wifi and lteDutyCycle=0.5

Case 2:   CellconfigA=Laa CellconfigB=Wifi and --ChannelAccessManager=DutyCycle with Onduration=40ms and Onperiod=80ms

As mentioned above both cases try to implement 50%duty cycle for LTE. But there is a big difference between delay at IP layer in both case.

Case 1 : ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Lte --lteDutyCycle=0.5 --d2=100 --ChannelAccessManager=DutyCycle --duration=5"
--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
  Tx Packets: 31437
  Tx Bytes:   47155500
  TxOffered:  75.4488 Mbps
  Rx Bytes:   25153500
  Throughput: 40.2456 Mbps
  Mean delay:  395.452 ms
  Mean jitter:  0.562976 ms
  Duration:     5.35992 s
  FirstTX pkt Time:     2.06408 s
  LastRx  pkt Time:     7.424 s
  Rx   Packets: 16769
  Lost Packets: 14668


Case 2 : ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Laa --d2=100 --ChannelAccessManager=DutyCycle --duration=5"
with Onduration=40ms and Onperiod=80ms

--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
  Tx Packets: 31437
  Tx Bytes:   47155500
  TxOffered:  75.4488 Mbps
  Rx Bytes:   27817500
  Throughput: 44.508 Mbps
  Mean delay:  1330.13 ms
  Mean jitter:  0.451775 ms
  Duration:     5.89592 s
  FirstTX pkt Time:     2.06408 s
  LastRx  pkt Time:     7.96 s
  Rx   Packets: 18545
  Lost Packets: 12892

As you can see in case 1 delay is 395 ms and in case 2 delay is 1330 ms which is quite high.

In both cases we are trying to use 50% duty cycle then why there is such a high delay in case 2?

Dear All,

In addition to above post i have similar question about delay of LAA node using LBT mechanism.

I have produce the results based on laa-wifi-simple.cc script. In my opinion i think delay of LAA node is quite high and in real world application it can not be acceptable. I have run the scripts with different configuration as mentioned below.

Case 1: ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Laa --cellConfigB=Laa --d2=10 --duration=5"

--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
------
  Throughput: 41.3352 Mbps
  Mean delay:  1423.24 ms
------
--------monitorB----------
Flow 1 (2.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.3:9) proto UDP
------
  Throughput: 42.0984 Mbps
  Mean delay:  1411.96 ms
------

Case 2: ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Laa --cellConfigB=Laa --d2=10 --duration=10"

--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 37.3356 Mbps
  Mean delay:  2527.47 ms
------
--------monitorB----------
Flow 1 (2.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.3:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 39.138 Mbps
  Mean delay:  2436.6 ms
------

Case 3: ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Laa --cellConfigB=Laa --d2=10 --duration=20"

--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 36.0198 Mbps
  Mean delay:  4709.86 ms
------
--------monitorB----------
Flow 1 (2.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.3:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 36.7224 Mbps
  Mean delay:  4483.05 ms

As we can see from above 3 cases that in all 3 cases both cells are configured as LAA and just duration is changing. As we increase the duration mean delay is also increasing.

First question : Are theses delay normal? I think it is very high delay.
Second question : Why with increasing the simulation duration delays are also increasing ? It might change but that should be very small and not this much difference.

Case 4: ./waf --run "laa-wifi-simple --cellConfigA=Laa --cellConfigB=Wifi --d2=10 --duration=20"

--------monitorA----------
Flow 1 (1.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.2:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 55.8612 Mbps
  Mean delay:  2373.18 ms
------
--------monitorB----------
Flow 1 (2.0.0.2:49153 -> 7.0.0.3:9) proto UDP
------
Throughput: 12.4116 Mbps
  Mean delay:  381.208 ms

In Case 4 i have done simulation with one wifi cell and one LAA cell. In this case also we are getting delay of LAA cell is 2373.18 ms which is high. I think in real world application 2.3 seconds of delay will not be acceptable.

Can someone please comment about above why are we getting high delay ? Is this normal or am i doing something wrong or is my understanding is wrong?
