[ns] UMTS on NS-2

[Mats Folke]

Hi!

Please post these questions to the list instead.

To answer your question: I don't know which files you need. Typically each study is unique, each question unanswered, therefore different scripts are needed everytime. The best thing is to find a language you are satisfied with (like perl, python, awk, Java, C, ...) and go with it.

Best regards,
Mats Folke
