Previous Analysis of Markov Model

Overview


• Analyzed Markov model• Compared analytical results with computed

results to verify the analysis.• Use analytical results compared with network

simulations to determine whether the system can indeed be modeled with a Markov chain.

Ns-2

Ns-2 simulator

• Closely relates to real world.

• A packet-based event-driven simulation.

• Can incorporate the wireless mechanism

• Allows for mobile stations

• Provides animations

Nam Trace : Medium Busy Time

The packet is on the air from t, if at ttype=‘h’ AND k=‘MAC‘ (Hop)

The medium is busy in[t, t+pktTransTime]

The medium is busy in collision case.

Conclusions

Conclusions

• Estimated parameter ‘p’• Determined the saturation value• Established validity of the Markov model• Established importance of assumption of

synchronicity


Future Objectives

• Use the .nam and .tr files to extract information about– Average service time – Average wait time

• Use the above times to find relationships between parameters

• Compare computed results and simulated results for different packet arrival configurations

• Compute the throughput/delay

• Create a deterministic model
