Building Complex Topology using NS3
22 likes8,469 views
This document describes the topology and implementation of a wireless network simulation. It includes: 1) Defining different node types (access point, stations, point-to-point, CSMA nodes) and connecting them with various net device and channel types. 2) Configuring the PHY and MAC layers for WiFi nodes using helper classes and setting attributes. 3) Adding mobility to WiFi nodes using mobility models and allocators to set positions while moving within boundaries. 4) Installing the internet stack on nodes and assigning IP addresses. 5) Adding server and client applications to simulate network traffic and running the simulation.
