Data Analysis

• Quick-and-dirty data analysis through GUI

– Double click on a .sca/.vec file
– Create an analysis file (.anf)
– Browse the file using drop-down menus and/or
regular expressions
– Plot graphs using built-in plotter
• Batch data extraction using command-line
program “scavetool”

 Overview

• Intro

• Mobility

• IP networks

• Applications

Antonio Virdis - Omnet 2015 13

 INET
• Open-source model library for OMNeT++

• Useful to quickly develop the standard part of your project

• Models for:
– Internet stack
– Wired and wireless links
– Support for mobility
– Application models
– QoS support (DiffServ MPLS)

• Made of extensible components

 Mobility
• Modeling the capability of an object to move in a 3D space
over time
• Why?
– Analyze mobility aspects.
– Analyze the effects of mobility on the system
• INET provides mobility modules that can be integrated into
compound modules.

 Usage
• Often used by wireless interfaces to perform tx/rx
related operations
• The mobility module offers various interfaces for
obtaining information on the current mobility
(position, speed, etc.)
• E.g. compute distance between two nodes to
evaluate pathloss, delay, etc.

 Example
• Create a simple module pilot with a parameter
posCheckInterval
• Create the associated class
– Read the value of the parameter
– Get access to the mobility module
– Configure a time to trigger every posCheckInterval
seconds
– When the timer fires, print the current position of the
node

 Applications
• INET provides you:
– A set of pre-made application models
– Base classes for UDP and TCP base applications
• Select from .ini one of the available models
• Extend the IUDPApp module and implement
the corresponding class interface
