利用NS3已有的Trace系统或者Log机制收集记录和统计数据,例如MAC层收发帧数目,网络层以上收发包数目的跟踪与统计,这里选取example/stats/wifi-example-sim.cc为例来很好说明问题:
这个仿真程序是一个简单的实验,包括两个节点,基于AdhocMAC信道模型,包含NS3仿真所需常见模型如节点/网络设备/协议栈和应用进程,这里的应用进程Sender 和Receiver,基于UDP的不可靠连接。

一 给定本次仿真参数distance,format,experiment,strategy,runID在初始化的同时也可以通过命令行改变,这些参数用于从多次实验中快速区分和组合数据。
二 创建节点和网络模型
三 安装协议栈,并分配IP
四 设置移动模型,这里为静止,并给定初始位置
五 安装应用,这里安装Sender / Receiver,自定义的见examples/stats/wifi-example-apps.h|cc
六 数据统计与收集,这是本文重点,下面具体分析。
这里创建DataCollector对象来存储运行信息,并通过Trace机制记录收发端帧和分组传输情况。
1 记录发端帧传输(基WIFI MAC对界)
通过CounterCalculator(src/stats/model/basic-data-calculators.h )类实现计数,利用Trace机制,当节点0上wifiNetDevice/Mac/MacTx变化(source),通过Config::Connect关联,定义的TxCallback作为sink函数调用,导致CounterCalculator::update调用即m_count++从而起到计数功能;
2 记录收端帧传输(基WIFI MAC对界)
类似情况1,虽然这里的sink函数是PacketConterCalculator::PacketUpdate(src/network/utils/packet-data-calculators.cc),但是该函数仍然是通过CounterCalculator::update实现计数,即利用Trace机制,当节点1上wifiNetDevice/Mac/MacRx变化(source),通过Config::Connect关联;
3 记录发端分组传输
也是通过PacketConterCalculator::PacketUpdate实现计数,利用Trace机制,当节点0上/Application/*/$Sender/Tx变化(source),通过通过Config::Connect关联,定义的PacketConterCalculator::PacketUpdate作为sink函数调用;
4 记录收端分组接收
由于收端应用Receiver没有定义traced source,故这里没有采用Trace机制,而是直接利用Receiver:;SetCounter直接操作,通过SetCounter显示类型转换,j将appRx赋值给Receiver内部计数器,从而实现计数
以上均是通过PacketConterCalculator(src/network/utils/packet-data-calculators.cc)或者CounterCalculator(src/stats/model/basic-data-calculators.h )实现传输单元的计数,\下一个将通过引入PacketSizeMinMaxAvgTotalCalculator (src/network/utils/packet-data-calculators.h|cc)和MinMaxAvgTotalCalculator(src/stats/model/basic-data-calculators.h)实现单元内大小的记录。
5 记录发端分组大小
这里采用Trace机制,节点0上/Application/*/$Sender/Tx变化(source),通过通过Config::Connect关联,定义的PacketSizeMinMaxAvgTotalCalculator::PacketUpdate作为sink函数调用,从而MinMaxAvgTotalCalculator::Update实现大小的记录。
6 记录端到端产生分组时的延迟
类似情况4,不采用Trace机制,直接利用Receiver:;SetDelayTracker记录传世时延最值/平均值等
七 运行程序命令
八 统计结果输出
对于输出要么OMNet++(纯文本输出格式)要么SQLite(数据库格式输出),这取决于程序头部定义的参数format,并最终DataCollector对象进行存储。
九 控制脚本实现最后运行
通过 一个简单的控制脚本实现该仿真程序在不同距离下大量重复(作为输入)实验后运行画图。可参考example/stats/wifi-example-db.sh(以后自己写多个不同输入下重复仿真项目时可参考这个)。该运行脚本每次都是基于一个不同的距离作为输入,收集每次仿真结果到SQLite数据库,其中对于每个距离输入,进行5次重复实验以减小波动。全部仿真完成只需几十秒,在完成存储到数据库后,可通过SQLite命令行进行SQL查询。并调用 wifi-example.gnuplot画图
进入该目录
cd /NS3/ns-allinone-3.25/ns-3.25/examples/stats
./wifi-example-db.sh
产生data.db数据库,wifi-default.data和wifi-default.eps图
图是对应距离下的丢包率以表征WiFi模型性能。
