Modeling geographic routing in wireless sensor networks using Omnet ++

Question

I plan to simulate a geographic routing algorithm ( http://coitweb.uncc.edu/~ywang32/research/TPGF-shu.pdf ) in wireless sensor networks using omnet ++ and Mixim.

I need the following data to continue

• What should be the structure of the node?
• after specifying the node information, in which file should I write the actual code (routing)
• what is all i have to know before doing this project?

Please guide me on the right track.

Answer 1

First of all, I would like to consider using INET 3.0 instead of MiXiM. Almost all MiXiM features are now available in INET 3 (including MiXiM more detailed physical models, MAC protocols, and some routing algorithms). If you are interested in routing algorithms and don’t care about the accuracy of the lower layers (physical transfer), then INET is definitely suitable.

• take a look at the wireless manual and see what parts can be useful as a starting point: https://github.com/inet-framework/inet/tree/master/tutorials/wireless

• Geographic Routing Protocol as a starting point (GPSR). https://github.com/inet-framework/inet/tree/master/src/inet/routing/gpsr
