Correlation models in ns-3

[Nestor Hernandez]

Dear all,

I would like to know if it is possible to model spatial correlation among nodes in ns-3, e.g. given a set of nodes deployed in a network, is it possible to set a channel model that includes correlation? is it an available feature? My main objective is to model correlation in wireless packet erasure networks.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Néstor

Hi,

I think it's possible, and to some extent the current channel models are already spatially correlated (perhaps in a too basic way for your research).

Probably you'll need to develop a new channel model, but it's definitely doable.

Cheers,

T.

Thanks for your quick answer Tommaso. I'll see what I can do. Can you recommend a model to start with or look at?

Best regards,

Néstor

Hi Néstor,

definitely spectrum and buildings models. The first is the "basic" propagation and path loss model, the second is a complex model taking into account the presence of buildings.

Hi Tommaso,

Many thanks.
