Ant Colony algorithm using NS2

Image
By
Ant Colony Algorithm in NS2 for Wired Networks.

Please follow the video for full instructions 



I am running in Ubuntu 20.04

Ant Colony


There are multiple files in Ant Colony (we use a protocol called Antnet) which i have already included in my blog called
https://www.nsnam.com 

Lets go to my Blog. And Search for Ant Colony and Download the complete folder AntNet as shown in the video.

Now Copy paste the files in their corresponding location:

My Location if ns2 is 
/home/pradeepkumar/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
Inside this folder, the files have to be pasted in differnet sub folders... 
Let me show you one by one...

cmu-trace.cc and cmu-trace.h have to be pasted to ~trace/
drop-tail.cc and drop-tail.h ---- ~queue/
Makefile.in to be replaced in the ns-2.35/ folder.

ns-default.tcl, ns-lib.tcl and ns-packet.tcl to be pasted at 
~tcl/lib

packet.h to be replaced at common/ folder.



priqueue.cc and priqueue.h to be pasted at queue/

antnet/ folder have to be copied to ns-2.35/ folder (this is very important as this is the main algorithm.)

Step 2: 
Change the GCC and G++ compiler in the Makefile.in as this is very important, else you might get errors if you leave the default GCC.

Please refer my following video on how to install ns2.35 in ubuntu 20.04.

Open Makefile.in

Change the following lines as given below

CC = gcc-4.8
CPP = g++-4.8

Step 3: Now Compile it
Open a Terminal.
$] cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
$] ./configure
$] make clean
$] make 

This might take some time based on the speed of your computer.
Without errors, successfully installed.... 

Step 4: 
Now lets understand the algorithm and packet structure.

Step 5:
Running the TCL File.

$] ns simpleant.tcl

We got three files simple.tr and simple.nam and rtable.txt

    Dear Dr really u are a wonderful person,i appreciate your motivation to share your knowledge to us.once again 10q.
    i am working in WSN to minimize energy consumption and to maximize the lifetime of the network using clustering algorithm of GA.so could u help how to cluster a WSN and make a multi hop routing.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
