hi

Hi,
Wanted to know if for  AODV and DSR protocols in GloMoSim one can  analyze the routing trace as we get in NS-2. In NS-2, there is a .tr file which will have information about the position of a node at different time instants, the route to a destination, the intermediate nodes in a route (for the case of AODV), etc. I want to get something similar to that in GloMoSim. Basically, all i need are the following:
(1) Position of a node at any instant during the simulation
(2) The origin time of a route, endtime of a route and the actual intermediate nodes in a route
(3) The time, the application layer is sending the packet to the network layer and the time the application layer at the destination gets the packet from its network layer
(4) The link-to-link delay in a route
5  The timing with regard to link failures
I saw the output in glomo.stat and it doesn't contain all the above information
Regards
Naveen

CFP: Special Issue, IEEE WirelessComMag (Extended Deadline: Oct.15)


****Sorry for receiving multiple copies****

______________________

Call for Papers for Special Issue on "Next Generation CDMA vs. OFDMA for
4G Wireless Applications" IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine

The great success of the Internet and wireless communications has opened
a new vista for future all-IP wireless applications, driven by increasing
demand for packet data services in worldwide 2.5G and 3G networks. It has
been envisioned that the future wireless systems will be operating based
mainly on burst data services carrying multimedia contents, including
voice, data, image and video. The needs to support high-speed burst-type
traffic in wireless channels have already posed a great challenge to the
current air-link technologies based on CDMA. There have been a lot of
debates on the air-link technologies most suitable for the 4G
wireless. It has been suggested from the research that the traditional
CDMA technologies (used in IS-95, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, etc.) are
suited only for slow-speed continuous-transmission applications such as
voice, but not suitable for high-speed all-IP wireless. Therefore, some
new multiple access technology, such as orthogonal frequency!
division multiple access (OFDMA), has been proposed to replace CDMA as
a prime air-link design for 4G wireless. However, the OFDMA also suffers
its own technical limitations, such as sensitivity to
peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR), nonlinear channels and so forth,
which will be the detrimental factors to its successful applications in
4G wireless. On the other hand, CDMA technology with its many unique
features still has a great potential for further technological
evolution. In this special issue, various important issues pertaining to
next generation CDMA and OFDMA technologies will be addressed and
compared. The objective of this special issue is to accelerate
technological evolution of air-link architecture for 4G wireless
communications.

Subjects:

The papers in this Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art research
in various physical-layer aspects of next generation CDMA and OFDMA
technologies for 4G wireless. We solicit papers covering a variety of
topics that include (the submissions irrelevant to 4G wireless will not
be considered):

Innovative CDMA technologies
All-IP CDMA/OFDMA wireless air-interface
M-ary CDMA
Comparison of CDMA and OFDMA
Orthogonal sequences design
Multi-carrier CDMA
OFDMA architecture
Complementary coded CDMA
CDMA/OFDMA Link adaptation and adaptive modem/equalization
ST-coded and MIMO CDMA/OFDMA systems
Pilot-added CDMA/OFDMA signaling design
CDMA/OFDMA synchronization control
CDMA/OFDMA air-interface standardization

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However,
papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long
as the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the
appropriate limits. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and
tables should be limited to a combined total of six. For manuscript
submission, authors should follow the IEEE Wireless Communications
Magazine manuscript format described in the "Information for Authors" at
http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Prospective authors
should submit the all-in-one PDF version of their complete manuscripts
(which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) via email to
the lead Guest Editor (Hsiao-Hwa Chen) by October 15, 2006. The important

Draft Update: draft-badis-manet-qolsr-04.txt

Hi all ;==)

I have submitted an update draft version (03 ==> 04), which
focuses on QoS in ad hoc networks using QOLSR.

draft URL:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-badis-manet-qolsr-04.txt

Major changes from version 03 to version 04

   - Generalization of QMPRs selection algorithm.  Instead of QMPRs
     computation based only on bandwidth and delay, any QoS metric can
     be used, which may be applicable in specific scenarios.
     QMPRs-Metrics SHOULD be declared before QOLSR running.  Otherwise,
     bandwidth and delay are used as default parameters for the QMPRs
     selection.

   - Introduction of support for multiple interfaces.

Major changes from version 02 to version 03

   - Standard MPRs are used to reduce the flooding of broadcast packets
     in the network instead of QMPRs.

   - TC messages are generated by QMPRs and relayed by MPRs.

   - A new algorithm for QMPRs selection.

   - QOLSR routes contain only QMPRs as intermediate nodes between a
     source destination pair.

   - Using the QOLSR protocol, a node keeps information about the next
     hop alone. So, it loses the ability to distinguish the part of used
     capacity that is induced by the given flow from other ones. There
     are cases in which a source node continuously changes a flow's next
     hop in response to the change of available bandwidth on its path
     and cannot tell apart the traffic induced by itself from traffic
     generated by other nodes. This situation is called the oscillation
     problem. Tow solutions are proposed to resolve this problem: at the
     source or distributedly by each hop in the path.

A more detail about QOLSR project and simulation code can be found at
http://qolsr.lri.fr/ and an implementaion will be soon available.

Any comments on the subject are welcome.

Best regards

--Hakim.
