Need to set up a VANET with variable transmission rates and number of vehicles, and print out the received packet's information.

[Boong Baang]

I want to have a VANET scenario where BSMs are transmitted periodically in range 10 Hz and 80 Hz, and the density changes from 50 to 200 veh/km. I want to use the different privacy techniques implemented in PREXT, and generate a log file for every packets received that includes Sender ID, Receiver ID, Sender Location, Receiver Location, Packet Generation Time, Packet Reception Time.

I was using ns3 for the generation of log files but I couldn't find any modules like PREXT there. So if anyone has some sample code which can be modified in a simple way to generate the scenario I described and print out the logs, it will be greatly helpful.

Any other resource will be helpful too.

I don't think I fully understand your question. Are you asking how to create a log file in OMNeT++? Or are you asking for help in porting PREXT to ns3?

Best,

I am responding very late as I had been working on the networking part of my research on ns3. But regarding the privacy models, ns3 has no model built-in so I am thinking of using PREXT. 

I want to generate a log file, of when a packet was received, sender, receiver, time of reception etc as a csv file using OPNET.
