Name	Description
ieee802154a (network)	This example illustrates the use of the IEEE 802.15.4A UWB-IR simulation model implemented in MiXiM. The omnetpp.ini files comprises two scenarios. Both scenarios involve only two hosts.

//This example illustrates the use of the IEEE 802.15.4A UWB-IR
//simulation model implemented in MiXiM.
//The omnetpp.ini files comprises two scenarios. Both scenarios
//involve only two hosts.
//
//The first scenario, named BERDistance, configures one host to
//sends ($nbPackets) packets to the other. The distance ($distance)
//between the two nodes is changed at each run. This is performed
//for two channel models (Ghassemzadeh-LOS and NLOS) so that the
//difference between a Line of Sight and a Non Line of Sight
//environment can be seen. 
//
//The second scenario is simpler. It only sends one packet at each
//time, and iterates over five channel models: Ghassemzadeh-LOS, 
//Ghassemzadeh-NLOS, CM1, CM2 and CM5.
//It allows to see the simulator representation of the maximum
//pulse amplitude over time, as modified by the various channel
//models.
//
//To run the scenarios, compile mixim, open a terminal and go to
//examples/ieee80154a. There, type:
//./runBERDistance.sh 
//to execute all runs of the Bit Error Rate over Distance scenario.
//The "run" script expects to find opp_run in the path. Thus, make sure 
//to have $OMNET_PATH/bin in your path. 
//
//You can also try:
//./runChannelPlots.sh
//to execute all runs of the channelPlots scenario.
//
//The results can be analyzed from within Omnet++. In the
//examples/ieee802154a directory, open the files BERDistance.anf
//or channelPlots.anf (depending on the scenario that you ran before).
//At the bottom of the window, switch from the Inputs tab to the Datasets
//tab. In the BERDistance.anf file, you will find a "scatter chart BER_Distance"
//item. Double-click on it to generate the graph.
//
//In the channelPlots.anf file, there are several graphs. Opening
//"line chart Ghassemzadeh LOS" will show the packet as modified by the 
//Ghassemzadeh LOS channel model. Compare it with "line chart CM2" to see
//the impact of the Power Delay Profile. By default, the view does not allow
//to see the pulse shapes, because of the ultra short duration (2 ns per pulse).
//Zoom repeatedly until you see a triangular shape, by holding down the "Ctrl"
//touch and drawing a zoom box with the mouse around the area to enlarge.
//

//* the Omnet++ documentation at www.omnetpp.org/documentation and the user guide.
//* the MiXiM documentation
//* UWB-IR NED modules documentation and source code.
