Abstract

Ns-2 is a proven simulator which is widely utilized to evaluate the performance of wired and wireless network. Ns-2.33 version introduced the extended version including the modules which the core functions of existing 802.11 PHY and MAC layer are implemented. However, if the error rate, one of most important parameters to evaluate a performance of wireless network, is applied to the extended version, the simulation is ceased with several fatal errors. Furthermore, a packet error is detected and discarded on MAC layer in the traditional protocol architecture, but there is the problem which can't identify information about a packet with error by processing packet error on PHY layer in this version. In this paper, we modify the extended version to resolve the above mentioned problems. And also we perform ns-2 simulation using the modified version on the IEEE 802.11p based vehicular ad-hoc networks, and then analyze effects of error rate.

Ns-2는 유 무선 네트워크의 성능을 평가하기 위해 광범위하게 활용되고 있는 검증된 시뮬레이터이다. Ns-2.33 버전은 IEEE 802.11의 PHY 계층과 MAC 계층의 핵심 기능들이 구현된 모듈들을 포함하는 확장 버전을 제공하고 있지만, 만약 이 확장 버전에 무선 네트워크 시뮬레이션의 중요한 성능 평가 파라미터 중의 하나인 Error Rate가 적용되면 몇몇 치명적인 오류로 인해 시뮬레이션이 중단되는 상황이 발생한다. 뿐만 아니라, 패킷 에러는 실제로 MAC 계층에서 감지되고 폐기되어져야 하지만 이 버전에서는 PHY 계층에서 패킷 에러를 처리함으로써 에러가 발생된 패킷에 대한 정보를 확인할 수 없다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 언급된 문제들을 해결하기 위해 IEEE 802.11 확장 버전을 수정하였으며 IEEE 802.11p 기반의 차량 에드-혹 네트워크상에서 수정된 버전을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 Error Rate가 끼치는 영향을 분석하였다.
