IrfanJabandzic/MfTDMA-ns-3

A Dynamic Distributed Multi-Channel TDMA (DMC-TDMA) scheduling algorithm implementation for ns-3

Mf-TDMA module for ns-3

This repository hosts an implementation of the Multi-frequency Time Division Multiple Access (Mf-TDMA) for the NS-3 network simulator. It comes pre-packaged with NS-3 version 3.27. This module was implemented and tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

This module inclused support for both static and dynamic slot allocation. Dynamic slot allocation is based on decentralized approach.

Installation and usage instructions

• Clone the project from git. For Ubuntu run:

git clone https://github.com/IrfanJabandzic/MfTDMA-ns-3.git

• Follow the instructions on https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/Installation to prepare all dependencies. For Ubuntu, basic dependecies are:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev
sudo apt-get install mercurial python-setuptools valgrind

• Change into MfTDMA-ns-3 directory.
• Configure waf by running ns3_update script:

./ns3_update

Running the simulation

1. Open ns3_run script and modify parameters at the start of the script according to the user requirements.
2. Run ./ns3_run n, where n is the number of parallel simulations to be executed
3. After simulations are finished, run ./ns3_analyze n, where n is the number of simulations to be analyzed.
4. Run ./ns3_plot n (OPTIONAL), where n is the number of simulations.
5. Run ./analyze_slots n (OPTIONAL), where n is the simulation number.

All results are generated in 'results' folder.
