Misc

Pitfalls

  • Use Java 1.4 compatibility, BCel cannot handle Java 5.0
  • If more than one node use the same NetAddress, the simulation aborts prematurely without any error message.
  • All entity classes and related interfaces MUST be public.
  • The JUnit test runner is always restarted. Workaround: Write your own test runner using the pattern "setup - test - teardown".

Collisions

  • RadioNoiseIndep and RadioSimpleStochastic both do not implement packet collisions on radio level:
 RadioNoiseIndep.receive():

     case Constants.RADIO_MODE_RECEIVING:
       if(Main.ASSERT) Util.assertion(signals>0);
       if(power_mW >= radioInfo.shared.threshold_mW
           &&  power_mW > signalPower_mW*thresholdSNR)
       {
         lockSignal(msg, power_mW, duration);
       }
       break;
  • RadioNoiseAdditive implements additive superposition of radio signals and packet collisions. A signal is received only if it is stronger than thresholdSNR multiplied with the sum of the power of all other signals. Otherwise all signals are scrambled.
 RadioNoiseAdditive.receive():

     case Constants.RADIO_MODE_RECEIVING:
       if(power_mW > signalPower_mW  &&  power_mW >= totalPower_mW*thresholdSNR)
       {
         lockSignal(msg, power_mW, duration);
         setMode(Constants.RADIO_MODE_RECEIVING);
       }
       else if(type == SNR  
           &&  signalPower_mW < (totalPower_mW-signalPower_mW+power_mW)*thresholdSNR)
       {
         unlockSignal();
         setMode(Constants.RADIO_MODE_SENSING);
       }
       break;

FieldIf
  • Channels are realized through an additional channel layer
    • Has an active channel within a given set of channels
    • Discards packets on other channels
    • Delayed channel switching (only possible, when not transmitting)
    • TODO Cross-channel interference
