Detailed Description

Helper class which can read ns-2 movement files and configure nodes mobility.

This implementation is based on the ns2 movement documentation of ns2 as described in http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node172.html

Valid trace files use the following ns2 statements:

  $node set X_ x1
  $node set Y_ y1
  $node set Z_ z1
  $ns at $time $node setdest x2 y2 speed
  $ns at $time $node set X_ x1
  $ns at $time $node set Y_ Y1
  $ns at $time $node set Z_ Z1

Note that initial position statements may also appear at the end of the mobility file like this:

  $ns at $time $node setdest x2 y2 speed
  $ns at $time $node set X_ x1
  $ns at $time $node set Y_ Y1
  $ns at $time $node set Z_ Z1
  $node set X_ x1
  $node set Y_ y1
  $node set Z_ z1

The following tools are known to support this format:

See usage example in examples/mobility/ns2-mobility-trace.cc

Bug
Rounding errors may cause movement to diverge from the mobility pattern in ns-2 (using the same trace). See https://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1316

template<typename T >
void ns3::Ns2MobilityHelper::Install ( T begin,

Parameters
beginan iterator which points to the start of the input object array.
endan iterator which points to the end of the input object array.

Read the ns2 trace file and configure the movement patterns of all input objects. Each input object is identified by a unique node id which reflects the index of the object in the input array.
