Wireless Sensor Networks Project

Our goal is to make a simulation of a tracking network that uses sensors and a wireless backhaul. We want to experiment with providing additional sensors and keeping track of something called 'Quality of Tracking' to indicate when to use which sensor.

Setting up the environment

To run OmNet++ and Castalia, this code was run using WSL on Windows running an Ubuntu flavor (22)

Update repos

  • apt-add-repository universe
  • apt update

install the dependencies – OmNet++ and Castalia

  • apt install software-properties-common
  • apt install wget build-essential gcc g++ bison flex perl python-is-python3 python3 libqt5opengl5-dev tcl-dev tk-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev default-jre doxygen graphviz libwebkitgtk-6.0-4 libgtk2.0-0 python2
  • apt install openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev

Clone project

  • git clone --recurse-submodules (this repos url)

Switch to OmNet++

  • cd wireless-sensor-network-simulator
  • cd omnetpp

If you choose to use OpenSceneGraph (only available on ubuntu 20)

  • apt install libopenscenegraph-dev libgeos-dev
  • sed -i 's/^#OSGEARTH_LIBS=/OSGEARTH_LIBS=" -losgEarth -losgEarthUtil -lgeos_c "/' configure.user.dist

If you don't care (if you're using ubuntu 22, and not 20 like recommended)

  • sed -i 's/^WITH_OSG=yes/WITH_OSG=no/' configure.user.dist
  • sed -i 's/^WITH_OSGEARTH=yes/WITH_OSGEARTH=no/' configure.user.dist

Compile

  • source setenv
  • ./configure
  • make -j

Optional! Add to your bash / zsh profile

  • [ -f "/omnetpp/setenv" ] && source "/omnetpp/setenv Or just manually source when you want to get the environment going

Go back to Root Dir & Clone Castalia

  • cd ..
  • git submodule update

Build Castalia

  • cd Castalia
  • ./makemake
  • make -j

You're Done!

omnetpp to run the ide, you can check out the aloha sample in the omnetpp directory. You could even run one of the Castalia examples in the command line and generate data!
