I have set up an IoT network simulation with 64 sensors sending data to a server via a 6LoPAN Gateway and routers. Now,
1. How can I change the bandwidth of each sensor sending packets?
2. How can I implement mobility in this module and shows all devices moving?
3. How can I control the number of packets sent from sensor? Example: Like 3 packets per second.
Shubham,
1. The parameters such as bandwidth, frequency, data rate etc are fixed as per ZigBee IEEE802.15.4 Standard. You cannot change these from NetSim GUI and its needs to be modified in the code
2. Sensors in NetSim support mobility. By default sensors are static with velocity set to 0 m/s. This can be modified by rightclicking -> Sensor general properties and selecting the required Mobility Model and configuring the velocity to a desired value
3. The frequency of packet generation can be controlled using the Application properties. Inter arrival Time parameter that is part of Sensor App properties determines how frequently packets are generated from the Source to the destination specified. By default inter arrival time is set to 1000000 Micro Seconds (1 Second). You can modify this to 333,333 micros seconds to get 3 packets every seconds
Thank you, Abhishek Tayal. Can you let me know where to modify the codes to change the bandwidth parameter in IoT?
In the file 802.15.4.c, in the Zigbee project, of NetSim, you would see a line
dDataRate = 0.250;
Change this suitably
