ABSTRACT
DSRC is a promising IEEE 802.11 based wireless technology that enables advanced active vehicle safety, among other applications. NS-2 is a common and familiar communication simulation tool for researchers. The current NS-2 distribution package, however, is not completely ready to accommodate the requirements of IEEE 802.11 (i.e. DSRC) based vehicular communication research. In this paper, we present an overview on the pre-existing wireless simulation architecture design in the NS-2 distribution code. We then describe our improvements to the IEEE 802.11 PHY and MAC modules in NS-2. The resulting simulator is a more accurate simulation tool for DSRC in particular and IEEE 802.11 based wireless communication research in general.

Overhaul of ieee 802.11 modeling and simulation in ns-2
MSWiM '07: Proceedings of the 10th ACM Symposium on Modeling, analysis, and simulation of wireless and mobile systemsNS-2, with its IEEE 802.11 support, is a widely utilized simulation tool for wireless communications researchers. However, the current NS-2 distribution code has some significant shortcomings both in the overall architecture and the modeling details of ...
Implementation of the IEEE 802.15.4 module with CFP in NS-2
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard, widely used in sensor networks, specifies the CAP (Contention Access Period) and the CFP (Contention Free Period). The devices contend for access to transmission media using the CSMA/CA mechanism in the CAP, while, in the CFP,...
Relay-volunteered multi-rate cooperative MAC protocol for IEEE 802.11 WLANs
In IEEE 802.11, the rate of a station (STA) is dynamically determined by link adaptation. Low-rate STAs tend to hog more channel time than high-rate STAs due to fair characteristics of carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance, leading to ...
