Building model for NS3

[Mohammad]

Hello all,

I saw that you implement a building model for NS3, I have a few question
about that:

1- Is it possible to use just the outdoor model and implement a VANET such
network with buildings?

2- Is there any example that uses this model?

Best Regards,
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

1- Yes, it is possible, but it depends on your needs. Currently the
building model provides just a few details on the buildings for enabling
the simulation of simple scenarios where there is interference among indoor
and outdoor nodes. There is no support of raytracing techniques. You can
find more info in the shinx documentation provided in the module.

2- Examples are in /src/buildings/examples folder; moreover it has been
used also in lte framework, where many examples uses it (and its usage is
documented).

Best regards,
marco.

Hi Marco,

Could you please tell me what is the reference for implementing this model.
I mean, is there any validation for the model?

Also is it possible to use the Building model with i.e. Ns2MobilityModel?
and what is the limitation of the model for number of nodes and buildings?

Thanks

Hi,

the validation is as usual in the building/test folder of the module and is
documented in sphinx with the references (in building/doc folder).

Right now, it is not possible to use any ns3 mobility models with the
buildings; however, if remember right Ns2MobilityModel is based on off-line
traces which are loaded during the simulation, in this case it would not be
so difficult its integration.

I have no idea of the limitations in terms of number of nodes, we have
simulated LTE with hundreds of nodes; however it depends on the technology
and scenario you have in mind.
Regarding the buildings, the main limitations are that the building is a
rectangular box and can be placed only in a grid fashion (i.e., tih the
walls parallel to x/y axis). In fact, it has been designed for simulating
simple urban scenarios (dual-stripe, flats) typical of 3GPP evaluations.

Best regards,
marco.

Hi, I am also trying to use the building model for a simple vanet case.
There are two vehicles with building between them(so no line of sight).
WIll I be able to use the building model with appropriate propagation loss
model?
