I am working on some WSN simulations in NetSim. How to pass the node co-ordinates of the WSN sensor from NetSim into MATLAB in run time for MATLAB to calculate clustering ?
In NetSim the Device (nDeviceID) Coordinates can be accessed using the variables
NETWORK->ppstruDeviceList[nDeviceID]->pstruDevicePosition->X
NETWORK->ppstruDeviceList[nDeviceID]->pstruDevicePosition->Y
This can easily be passed to MATLAB in the form of parameters to a function in .m file containing your MATLAB code, as shown in MATLAB-NetSIm interfacing example available in http://tetcos.com/File_Exchange/
Add the MATLAB_Interface.c file to the project in which your are currently working on (eg DSR).
Make calls to functions in MATLAB_Interface.c at appropriate place
You can pass the parameters to the fn_netsim_matlab_run() function in the MATLAB_INTERFACING.c file from whichever file you are working on inside the current project.
From the fn_netsim_matlab_run() function you can then pass the parameters to a function in .m file containing your MATLAB code.
Thank you. Could you also explain how I can print this to console / file for easy debugging ?
And what are the recommended clustering algorithms for reducing power consumption ?
Hi Rahul, how did this workout for you. Also I wanted to know what clustering algorithms you finally used, and how were your results.
Did you use MATLAB for the clustering using the inbuilt interface in NetSim?
