seeking advice to install 802.11e patch in ns2
 

Hi,

This is Chithra. My research is based on 802.11e protocol. I use ns2.34 on ubuntu 10.04 (gcc-4.3) version. I am looking for 802.11e patch. I couldn't find any patch file for ns2.34.

so i tried installing the patch from he following links.
http://www.tkn.tu-berlin.de/research/802.11e_ns2/
http://www.telematica.polito.it/casetti/802.11e/
that also went in vain. either tcl or tclcl make getting failed. is this problem due to gcc version or ubuntu? What should i do now? I have been searching for solution since long time. Kindly help me friends. your help is highly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to LQ.

Your first link is about ns-2.28 : No problems having more than one
version of ns-allinone-2.xx present in /home/<user-name>/<ns2-dir>/
More info, LQ Search → Keyword = ns-allinone
Example http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...failed-732164/
> > Posts #10 #11.

The second link is a patch for ns-allinone-2.1b9a, also used for some
other patches. The version ns-allinone-2.1b9a-gcc32.tar.gz will work.
The possible issues are with the very old patch.

..

Hello, Thanks for you quick reply..

I tried to execute the command from the root as mentioned. i have got the following message..

root@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.28# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel gcc-c++ make automake autoconf libtool

>>Kindly help me how to resolve this issue. Am i missing something?
Do let me know.. Thanks in Advance..

Yes, definitely. You are using Ubuntu ? Or ? The install command is not yum.
And the Fedora package names cannot be used.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware

If you had followed the link
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...failed-732164/
... then you will see, it points to
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3
sudo apt-get install g++ automake autoconf libtool \
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev

Adding 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list, post #5 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-867404/#5
Then you can do : sudo apt-get install g++-3.4 : required for ns-2.28.

The install command : 'export CC=gcc-3.4 CXX=g++-3.4 && ./install'
... should work on Ubuntu.

Please do not build ns-allinone-2.28 as root. Unless you want trouble.
The build location is /home/<name>/<ns2-folder>/ns-allinone-2.28/
... So all commands can be done as 'unpriviliged user'.

...

Hi,

Thank you very much for your clarification. I have made the required changes as u mentioned, except the following:

Add 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main
deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe

I don't know in which place i have to add this.. because i couldn't find the path "/etc/apt/sources.list" anywhere..
Kindly guide me..

Adding 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list : sources.list is a text file.


In a terminal window do : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sou<TAB> <ENTER>
.. and bash completion will bring you to sources.list and display it in gedit.

Then you can copy / paste the four lines to be added ..
..

Thanks for your patience for clarifying my doubts.
After performing the above mentioned steps, it throws the following error when i try to install:

checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

KIndly let me know how can i resolve this issue.
Thank you..

OK, then to the build instructions for ns-allinone-2.28 on Ubuntu :

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...led-732164/#10
> > post # 10

And like Fedora, you may get a slightly better result with 'ns228-gcc40.patch'.
That's post # 11. But I don't remember.

facing problem in installing gcc++-3.3 on ns2.27 (Ubuntu 9.10)
 

Hello,

I have been trying to use ns2.27 (on ubuntu 9.10) to work on hcca patch for my research. I am following post#4 for the installation. and am encountering problem when i try to install the gcc++-3.3 package.

Firstly, i tried : sudo apt-get install g++-3.3
i got the following msg,
chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.27$ sudo apt-get install g++-3.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package g++-3.3

Secondly, i executed the following command in the terminal
sudo dpkg -i \

libstdc++5-3.3-dev_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb

i got the following error,

Either way I couldn't install the g++-3.3 package. Can you please tell me where am going wrong?? Kindly assist me to rectify this. Looking forward for your inputs.

Thanks!

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic has been unsupported for some time.
Some repositories can still be used.
But to be sure, you can change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list
to the "old archive" ( All 'karmic' lines ) :
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/


About gcc-3.3, g++-3.3 : Probably remove what's installed,
and then use packages from hardy-updates only: All 5 packages.
( http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/g++-3.3 )

..

Hello,

Thank you so much for your timely reply!
Now I have completed till this step,
ln -s ../tcl8.4.18/generic/tclInt.h
ln -s ../tcl8.4.18/generic/tclIntDecls.h
(followed post#3 in this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3)

And I have downloaded the following patches "tk-8.4-lastevent.patch" & "otcl-113-configure.in.patch" in ns-allinone-2.27 folder for now.You have mentioned "Apply the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch in tk8.4.14." in that post, but i couldn't locate tk8.4.14 anywhere in the ns-allinone-2.27 folder.

And also I just wanna make sure whether following are the only steps left out before i run ./install??
for tk => cp tk-8.4-lastevent.patch ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.18/
cd ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.18/
patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch

for otcl =>patch -p1 < otcl-113-configure.in.patch


If am missing something, please assist me.. LOoking forward for your reply!
Once again thanks for your time and consideration :)

Thank you!

May be you forgot a link to tcl8.4.14 like described in
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3

And by the way, Ubuntu 9.10 is not required.
Ubuntu 10.04 (10.10) will also make a perfect result.

.

Thanks for your support!

So do you mean that, I can install ns2.27 on ubuntu 10.04 / 10.10 would go well? And if yes, should i follow the same instructions in this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3 ?

also, can i do the hcca patch on ubuntu 10.04 version? will there be any compatibility issues?
Kindly let me know your suggestions!

Thanks :)

AFAIK there is no difference, if using 10.04 or 10.10
( 10.10 : Requires manual install of the g++-3.3 / gcc-3.3 packages. From hardy-updates.)
Remark : Should be a 32bitsOS for best result.
Ns2 is not made to work fully on a 64bits OS.


( Ubuntu 11.04 : Difficult to use. 11.10 : Not usable.)

..

Hello,

As you mentioned in the previous post, I tried installing ns2.27 on ubuntu10.04 version. I followed the same instructions (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3). In that link, I presume that I have installed g++-3.3 and the other steps correctly.


Am trying to apply the below patches. Following are the response at the terminal:

>Apply the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch in tk8.4.14.
>Apply the otcl-113-configure.in.patch in otcl-1.13. (it says HUNK failed at this point)

I couldn't make it out from the response i get. Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue?
Thanks for your constant support and patience.

Thanks!

The patches are not that important. Any behavior of '1 hunk FAILED' is OK.
Patching is mostly concerning the separate application 'nam'.
Any nam from any ns-allinone-2.xx can be used.

'nam' should be installed to /usr/local/bin/.
You can use a binary nam : nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US
Unpack, and : sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/

..

Thanks a lot for your reply!

In a previous you have mentioned that,
// ( 10.10 : Requires manual install of the g++-3.3 / gcc-3.3 packages. From hardy-updates.)
Does it mean that I don't have to do install g++-3.3 / gcc-3.3 manually on 10.04 version?
To my knowledge, 10.04 version uses the newer version of gcc right?

Kindly clarify my doubt.

Thank you so much for your consistent support!

Hi,

Adding to my previous post..
when i try to install g++-3.3 package, i get the following
chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.27$ sudo apt-get install g++-3.3Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
g++-3.3 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
g++-3.3: Depends: gcc-3.3 (= 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu4) but it is not installable
Depends: gcc-3.3-base (= 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu4) but it is not installable
Depends: libstdc++5-3.3-dev (= 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu4) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


it says 'unmet dependencis'. may i know what does it mean? is g++-3.3 installed already?
Kindly let me know how can I resolve it..

Thank you!

Hello,

With your guidance, I have installed ns2.27 on ubuntu10.04 successfully.

HOwever, I get the following message.
>Please compile your xgraph separately.
>Please compile your gt-itm & sgb2ns separately.

[1]How can i compile the xgraph, gt-itm & sgb2ns spearately?
[2]And my main aim is to patch the hcca on ns2.27
I follow this link for hcca patch: http://cng1.iet.unipi.it/wiki/index.php/Ns2hcca
But patching is not successful yet. I encountered the following message,

KIndly let me know your suggestion.

Thanks for your consistent support!

Xgraph : sudo apt-get install xgraph

'gt-itm' and 'sgb2ns' : Never seen anybody use those.


HCCA : Probably use ns-allinone-2.29.3.tar.gz :
cd ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/ &&
wget http://cng1.iet.unipi.it/archive/ns2...60823.patch.gz
&& zcat ns2hcca-2.29-060823.patch.gz | patch -p1
→ → No errors.

( You can have as many versions of ns-allinone-2.xx as you want
installed at the same time. Preferably in /home/<name>/ns2*,
not /usr/local/ ! )

.

Hi,

I am trying to install ns2.29 as per your advice. I use,
CC = gcc-3.3
CXX = g++-3.3
in the makefile.

when i run "./install" at the terminal i get the following error(excerpt),

is it due to the problem with gcc compiler version?? KIndly tell me how can i resolve it??

Thanks.

Hello,

With your constant support, I able to install ns2.29 (especially for hcca patch) on ubuntu 10.04 successfully.
I encountered numerous errors while installing. But i able to debug it with the help of following link:
http://sertel.upc.es/~maguilar/fiche...eNS2_David.txt

after the debugging, installation was smooth. NOw am trying to understand the hcca architecture & its code.
I hope this would help someone who is working on the same.

Thanks!

Hi,

After installing hcca patch, i was trying to run the simple.tcl (to verify if everything works fine) from ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex/simple.tcl

chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex$ ns simple.tcl
210
0.0037499999999999999
running nam...
chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex$ nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
"bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}"
invoked from within
"if {[string equal [tk windowingsystem] "classic"]
|| [string equal [tk windowingsystem] "aqua"]} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {..."

I am getting the above error. Does it mean nam is not installed properly?? Kindly please let me know how can I rectify this issue..

THanks for your time!

# 24.

Use a binary nam. See post # 16.

( And delete the corrupt nam that causes the errors.)

Hi thanks for your reply!

May I know what gcc version should I use ?

hi,

now i can compile the nam and patched the hcca patch also. but when i run the example.tcl file, i get the following message,

chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex/hcca$ ns example.tcl

./ns example.tcl : The "ns" from "ns-2.29 HCCA" must be used.
The result you get, looks like ns version 2.34 is used.

I get this

Hi,

Yeah, as you said i was trying to run it using ns2.34 version. Now its working fine.
My actual work is to increase the no. of stations and modify certain parameters and simulate the NAM and xgraph (to calculate the throughput and delay characteristics)for the same..

in the current example.tcl (hcca folder), it doesn't have anything like NAM/ Xgraph.. So how and where can I introduce those functions??
PLease let me know how can i proceed...

I appreciate your constant support!
THanks

Hello,

May I know how can I analyze example.trc using the perl script called analyze.pl?
What is the exact purpose of the analyze.pl script??

I tried executing it on the terminal. It says permission denied!
chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex/hcca$ ./analyze.pl < example.trc
bash: ./analyze.pl: Permission denied

PLease let me know what am missing here and how can i analyze the trace.. I really need your help.
Kindly let me know... Looking forward for your reply

Thank you.

# 30.

The command is : 'perl analyze.pl < example.trc'


If you want to do './analyze.pl < example.trc' , then change "analyze.pl"
to be executable : chmod +x analyze.pl

Post #15.

To use a patch : The patch should be present or pointed to.

cd ns-allinone-2.27/tcl8.4.18/ &&
wget ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo-portage...astevent.patch
&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && cd ../ && ./install




Not important.

.

hi,

i tried this patch and got the expected message (1 out 0f 1 hunk failed).
ran ./install at the terminal again.

Still i couldn't run the simple-wireless tcl program. i get the same error. Can you please tell me how can i solve it further?

thank you.

"ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/tcl/ex/simple-wireless.tcl" is a program
for the default 'ns' without the HCCA patch.

"simple-wireless.tcl" will not work with "ns-hcca".


Suggest : Run a new './install' on a clean ns-allinone-2.29,
and copy ns to /usr/local/bin/

You can also have a copy of the "ns hcca" in /usr/local/bin/,
with your own naming like ns-hcca or ns229-hcca.

I have up to 10 different ns-allinone-2.xx on each OS.
Example 'ns' binaries in /usr/local/bin/ :

Thank you so much for the clarification.

i have been trying to understand the example.trc file of hcca patch(to claculate the throughput and delay). This trace looks very very different from the usual wireless trace file..

Can you please help me how can i interpret it ??? have been looking for the solution very long time.. am not able to sort it out...
Kindly give me your inputs.. looking forward for your reply..

Thank you so much for your time..

Post # 37, @kikistr1 / Kristina : Welcome to LQ.

Which patch is it about ? A direct download link, please.

And : Are you sure the patch is for ns-2.31 ?

.

This is the download link http://sourceforge.net/projects/ieee80211e-ns2/

It is not for ns 2.31, i have made the changes from the readme file, i run again my simulation and i got a segmentation fault message. I do not what to do now. Can You help me with this?

Or if You now a better patch give me a link to install it.

Regards,
Kristina

#39

The patch EDCA_ns-2_28-v1-0-2 : Please use ns-allinone-2.28.
(You can have as many versions of ns-allinone-2.xx as you want,
installed at the same time. Just do not add any of them to a PATH*.)


ns-allinone-2.28 : Please use the patch ns228-gcc40.patch, post #11 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...led-732164/#11
And : cd ns-allinone-2.28/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

..

Ok, Thank You for Your time.

Now i will try to install ns 2.28. Will it work on Fedora 7?

BR,
Kristina

#41, @kikistr1 / Kristina

Should work with all Fedora versions. Most versions have been tested OK with ns-2.28 .

# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ : Then you'll have the gcc34, g++34 compilers.

Hi , I am trying to install NS-2.29.3 on Linux 32 bits(10.04)
since now i have faced a lot problems , errors ..., could you tell me which version of gcc have you used ?

Post # 43, @ rexx : Welcome to LQ.

Ubuntu 10.04 - 32, that's 'gcc / g++' version 4.1.2 for ns-2.29.3 :
sudo apt-get install g++-4.1


cd ns-allinone-2.29/ && export CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1 && install

.

thank you for your help ;)
on my ubuntu version was installed gcc 4.4.3, i downloaded g++' version 4.1.2, and installed it ,
there were some mistakes But i was able to debug it with the help of following link:

Hello , I am trying to patch hcca in ns-allinone-2.34 ,as i can see you have done it , i want to know which version to use , did you use the same patch "ns2hcca-2.29-060823" in ns-allinone-2.34 or some thing else ?

# 47

Ref. post # 28
The text means :
Looks like you by mistake are using a binary ns from ns-2.34.
The right version is the "ns hcca" binary from ns-2.29/.

Note :
You can have as many versions of ns-allinone-2.xx as you want,
installed at the same time. But : Do not add any of them to a *PATH.

Hi every body, my Thesis is based on "analysis of QoS services provisioning in IEEE 802.11e HCCA wireless networks"

The work covers the simulation analysis of QoS provisioning (throughput, mean frame delay, percentage of lost frames etc.) in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks based on HCCA function.

So I have already installed NS2 and patch hcca function , every think work perfectly ,now I am seeking for help on writing a script which will help me to simulate the following topology:
