netanim stats counter tables not showing specific trace

[Francisco Eduardo Balart Sanchez]

Good day John:

I have a very basic question, i manage to fire the WifiPhyTxBegin trace, and i would like to know if there is something i need to do

in order to see it in the netanim app, in the stats tab in the "counter tables" section i can only see there are available:

• RemainingEnergy
• WifiMac Tx
• WifiMac TxDrop
• WifiMac Rx
• WifiMac Rx Drop
• WifiPhy TxDrop
  
• WifiPhy Rx Drop

So i would like to be able to select the WifiPhyTxBegin as well

Thanks in advance and best regards

I haven't tried it

but adding it will be similar to other Wifi counters

You will have to add the counter related code in  

EnableWifiPhyCounters

WifiPhyTxBeginTrace

TrackWifiPhyCounters

Good day John:

Sorry for my delayed response

So It worked, as you said, i leave my documentation in case someone want to see a specific trace in the net anim

This Tutorial is for enabling WifiPhyTxBegin trace on the netanim

• Files of concern 
• animation-interface.cc
• animation-interface.h

1. On the animation-interface.h source code declare the following variables
1. On the // Counter ID section
• uint32_t m_wifiPhyTxBeginCounterId;

2. On the /* Value-added custom counters */ Section
• NodeCounterMap64 m_nodeWifiPhyTxBegin;
2. On the animation-interface.cc source code add/modify the following
• As John well put the following instructions follow its advice (thanks)
  
1. On the AnimationInterface::EnableWifiPhyCounters (Time startTime, Time stopTime, Time pollInterval) function add the following code lines
• void 
AnimationInterface::EnableWifiPhyCounters (Time startTime, Time stopTime, Time pollInterval)

  {

    m_wifiPhyCountersStopTime = stopTime;

    m_wifiPhyCountersPollInterval = pollInterval;

    m_wifiPhyTxDropCounterId = AddNodeCounter ("WifiPhy TxDrop", AnimationInterface::DOUBLE_COUNTER);

    m_wifiPhyRxDropCounterId = AddNodeCounter ("WifiPhy RxDrop", AnimationInterface::DOUBLE_COUNTER);

    // added by febalart

    m_wifiPhyTxBeginCounterId = AddNodeCounter ("WifiPhy TxBegin", AnimationInterface::DOUBLE_COUNTER);

    for (NodeList::Iterator i = NodeList::Begin (); i != NodeList::End (); ++i)

      {

        Ptr<Node> n = *i;

        m_nodeWifiPhyTxDrop[n->GetId ()] = 0;

        m_nodeWifiPhyRxDrop[n->GetId ()] = 0;

        // added by febalart

        m_nodeWifiPhyTxBegin[n->GetId ()] = 0;

  
  

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyTxDropCounterId, n->GetId (), 0);

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyRxDropCounterId, n->GetId (), 0);

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyTxBeginCounterId, n->GetId (), 0);

      }

    Simulator::Schedule (startTime, &AnimationInterface::TrackWifiPhyCounters, this);

   

  }
2. Now go to the WifiPhyTxBeginTrace function and modify accordingly (same as WifiPhyTxDropTrace function)
• I highlighted in yellow the code lines added
• void

  AnimationInterface::WifiPhyTxBeginTrace (std::string context, Ptr<const Packet> p)

  {

    NS_LOG_FUNCTION (this);

    const Ptr <const Node> node = GetNodeFromContext (context);

    ++m_nodeWifiPhyTxBegin[node->GetId ()];

    return GenericWirelessTxTrace (context, p, AnimationInterface::WIFI);

  }
3. Then goto the AnimationInterface::TrackWifiPhyCounters () function and add the following lines
• void

  AnimationInterface::TrackWifiPhyCounters ()

  {

    if (Simulator::Now () > m_wifiPhyCountersStopTime)

      {

        NS_LOG_INFO ("TrackWifiPhyCounters Completed");

        return;

      }

    for (NodeList::Iterator i = NodeList::Begin (); i != NodeList::End (); ++i)

      {

        uint32_t nodeId = Ptr <Node> (*i)->GetId ();

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyTxDropCounterId, nodeId, m_nodeWifiPhyTxDrop[nodeId]);

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyRxDropCounterId, nodeId, m_nodeWifiPhyRxDrop[nodeId]);

        // by febalart

        UpdateNodeCounter (m_wifiPhyTxBeginCounterId, nodeId, m_nodeWifiPhyTxBegin[nodeId]);

      }

    Simulator::Schedule (m_wifiPhyCountersPollInterval, &AnimationInterface::TrackWifiPhyCounters, this);

  }
4. Finally On the AnimationInterface::ConnectCallbacks () function connect the trace with its callback on the //Wifi Phy section
•  Config::Connect ("/NodeList/*/DeviceList/*/$ns3::WifiNetDevice/Phy/PhyTxBegin",

                     MakeCallback (&AnimationInterface::WifiPhyTxBeginTrace, this));
5. And that's it, then after running the test when opening net anim you can see the counter table and trace
