Dear Jannat 

                Well there are some existing scenarios of WSN which you can modify according to your requirments. Have a look at this paper related to using NS 2 for WSN

http://research.ijcaonline.org/volume113/number16/pxc3902018.pdf

Dear Jannat,

In order to implement MAC layer for WSN in NS-2, you will read this complete detail document. Hope this will help you.

Is it NS-2 strictly required? Why not use NS-3?

If you can go with NS-3, I recommend going through the whole Tutorial in order to understand how a simulation script works, and then get into modifying the different classes involved in order to prototype your protocol.

Go for it: https://www.nsnam.org/docs/tutorial/html/introduction.html

If  I design a improved (for OSPF)routing protocol in ad hoc network, How can I modify the route protocol using ns-2 or ns-3?

Hello guys, for those of you wanting to use NS-3 for your research, I recommend going through the tutorial.

There, you will understand how NS-3 scripts are build, how to combine examples to get the result you need, and what to modify in order to get it to work.

Be patient, it can take time. But the good thing is that most of the intricacies of the protocols are already written and tested. Using the logging modules you can get a grasp of what is happening under the hood. In the end, it is a very efficient way to test your ideas.

Spend time trying to grasp it. It totally worths it.

thanks for your help; Adnan Nadeem,  Kashif Naseer Qureshi, and Luis Sanabria-Russo.

writing a tcl script and having a trace and nam files using ns-2 are cleared now.

awk and xgraph still not

- with respect to xgragh, (i install ns-allinone- 2.35 which containing xgraph12.1) but

bash: xgraph not found

- also awk still unclear with me

how can i solve these problems?
