Simple Module SensorApplLayer

Package: org.mixim.modules.application
File: modules/application/SensorApplLayer.ned

@brief Application layer to test lower layer implementations. SensorApplLayer waits a time initializationTime, then starts sending nbPackets (of size headerLength) to host destAddr. The time intervals between two packets can follow three distributions: periodic (fixed), uniform or exponential.

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

Host802154_2400MHz (compound module)

This NED module defines a host using an IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver at 2.4GHz for wireless communications, that can be used to simulate wireless sensor networks.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
debug	bool	false	debug switch
stats	bool	true	stats generation switch
trace	bool	false	activates detailed logging (per source latencies and vector logging). stats must be true.
broadcastPackets	bool	false	send packets in broadcast mode
nbPackets	double	0
destAddr	int	0
trafficType	string	"periodic"	Can be one of: periodic, uniform or exponential
trafficParam	double	1	the mean time between two packets
initializationTime	double	1 min	minimum time before generation of the first packet
headerLength	int	2 byte

Gates:

Name	Direction	Description
lowerGateIn	input	from network layer
lowerControlIn	input
lowerGateOut	output	to network layer
lowerControlOut	output
