RFID simulation

[Fathia Ouakasse]

hello, 

please I need help in simulating RFID, i wonder if it possible to do simulation of RFID with NS2 and how can i do it.

Unless there are any other platforms suitable to do this.

I'm really in need of your help

 

Thank you

Hi.

Please always start with "Google ns2 <??>" , like : Google .. ns2 rfid ..
https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all#hl=all&q=ns2+rfid
→ The second hit is  https://github.com/lynus/ns2-RFID , which is for ns-2.35 .
Getting the files : $ git clone https://github.com/lynus/ns2-RFID

* I will try making the files into an "easy usable patch" .... later.

thanks for your feedback, in deed , i installed the RFID ns-2 module http://ccsl.ime.usp.br/pt-br/rfid-module-ns-2-simulator

and i tried to excute the tcl code  http://www.ime.usp.br/~perazzo/nsRFIDsim/documentation.php

but it doesn't work!!  any idea!!!

@Fathia Ouakasse , Hi.

The download link for your file "rfid.tcl" is https://www.ime.usp.br/%7Eperazzo/rfid.tcl
.. The file is attached as "rfid-perazzo.tcl".  Using : $ ns rfid-perazzo.tcl rfid.tr 100

The link http://ccsl.ime.usp.br/pt-br/rfid-module-ns-2-simulator  .. is currently down.
Can you attach the code, preferably as <name>.tar.gz, e.g. rfid-reader.tar.gz ?
And please tell which ns2 version you are using.

The edited "lynus code" from https://github.com/lynus/ns2-RFID
.. is attached as  "rfid-ns235-files-1.tar.gz".
Using : cd ns-allinone-2.35/ && tar xvf rfid-ns235-files-1.tar.gz && ./install

@Fathia Ouakasse , Hi.

Six hours later : The "ccsl.ime.usp.br/pt-br/" link was up again : I got the code, ns-2_rfid-master.zip.
No issues at building ns-allinone-2.35 with the "rfidReader" code.
The tcl example `rfid.tcl´ has some typos :   Missing some many semicolons's ( ; ).
The edited file works OK.   Is attached as rfid-read_perazzo-2.tcl .
The simulation $ ./ns rfid-read_perazzo-2.tcl rfid.tr 100
...  created the file 'rfid.tcl' , 2.6 MB.

@Fathia Ouakasse .....  Hi again.

A file "rfid.tcl" is actually included in  "ns-2_rfid-master.zip" :
ns-2.35/cenarios/testes/{ rfid_2.tcl  rfid2.tcl  rfid.tcl }.
..... But this "cenarios/testes/rfid.tcl" is a different file size.
→ Might be different from the other one ?

*** The directory ns-2.35/cenarios/ :  Total file count = 947.    (  $ ls -R cenarios/ | wc  ).

Hi, 

thank you a lot for your feedbacks, i egally executed the "rfid.tcl" and it ok . do you mean a file "rfid.tr" was created?

i haven't yet tested the new version of "ns-2_rfid-master.zip", but i'm trying to work in the file "rfid.tcl" in order to simulate the binary tree algorithm of anticollision in RFID.

@Fathia Ouakasse , Hi.

How to run the file(s) "rfid*.tcl :   Make a new empty folder with a copy of rfid.tcl only.
Run the simulation :  $ cd new-folder/
$ ns rfid.tcl rfid.tr 100
... and watch the file rfid.tr being created.

Hi, 

I did it and it works very well, what i mean is that i'm trying to use the same code rfid.tcl with some modification in order to simulate other anticollision algorithms of RFID.

[Fathia Ouakasse]

Hi, 

this code don't support the binary tree anticollision, and i'm in need of simulation of these algorithms.

i wonder if i can modify only in "rfid.tcl" or i have to modify in files  /ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/apps .

can you help me

So I hope you will find something, either in those hits, or in one of the other "300,000".

thank you a lot, i will try to find something!!

Hi,
Did you find a solution to include new anti collision algorithm to the existing code?

I'm having a similar issue.
