[ns] Simulating a routing protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network

[abdullah qawasmeh]

Hi All,

I am currently working on developing a new routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks, the protocol uses the location information of each node in the network minimize the number of packet retransmissions. I am considering Network Simulator 2 for simulating the performance of the protocol. I started reading the NS-2 manual, but until now I am not sure whether I can set the get the location of each node during the simulation and use the location information to decide if a node after receiving a packet will retransmit it or drop it when it knows that all its 1-hop neighbors. Do I need to write some C++ code?. If any body can help me with this issue please reply.

Sincerely,

Abdulla
