TestSimComm, 5/22/07
This application tests the TOSSIM radio model by setting up a simple
hidden terminal case. It checks whether packets collide correctly and
whether SNR thresholds work correctly..
The relevant output channel is "TestComm".
There are three test cases:
test-equal.py: Tests whether two nodes that are hidden terminals
cause collisions. The two nodes have equal signal strengths, so a
collision should corrupt both packets. If one packet is lost due to
a collision, the other should be too. Note that packets can be
lost in the absence of collisions due to external interference.
test-unequal.py: Tests whether two nodes that are hidden terminals
cause collisions. The two nodes have signal strengths that differ
by 10dB, and node 1 is stronger. This means that node 2 should hear
node 1's packets if they start first, but not second. If a packet
from node 1 is lost, the packet from node 3 should be as well. However,
a loss from node 3 does not imply a loss from node 1, as it is
stronger.
test-asym.py: Tests whether asymmetric links can have high delivery
rates but low acknowledgement rates. Checks that acknowledgements
follow SNR curves properly. In this test, both 1 and 3 have high
quality links (-60 dBm) to node 2, but the reverse links (2 to 1 and
2 to 3) are much worse (-80 dBm). You should see packet deliveries
like test-equal.py but few acknowledgements.
The ./run script runs all the three tests and counts the number of
ACKed and non-ACKed send packets. The output will look something
like this:
test-equal.log
ACK NOACK total
1 21197 19666 40863
3 21320 19543 40863
test-asym.log
ACK NOACK total
1 4930 35923 40853
3 4983 35870 40853
test-unequal.log
ACK NOACK total
1 27619 12966 40585
3 21040 19545 40585
ACK is the number of acknowledged packets from that node to node 2;
NOACK is the number of unacknowledged packets. Total is the sum.
The output should show three things:
1) In test-equal, both node 1 and node 3 have very
similar delivery ratios, losing about half of their packets.
2) In test-asym, the number of ACKs is much less than in
test-equal because the reverse links are poor.
3) In test-unequal, node 1 has more acknowledged packets
than node 3, because it has a higher SNR link.
