To print the Received power and BER along with other parameters such as Packet ID, Transmitter ID, Receiver ID, Received Power, and Simulation Time in NetSim console, follow the steps given below:
STEP 1: Open function fn_NetSim_IEEE802_11_PhyIn() present in IEEE802_11_P.c file inside IEEE802_11 project
STEP 2: Inside the function fn_NetSim_IEEE802_11_PhyIn(), add the following code as per the screenshot given below:
fprintf(stderr, "\nPACKET ID: %d\nTX ID: %d\nRX ID: %d\nRX POWER(dBm): %f\nBER: %f\nTIME(Micro Sec): %f\n", packet->nPacketId, packet->nTransmitterId, pstruEventDetails->nDeviceId, dReceivedPower, ber,pstruEventDetails->dEventTime); _getch(); //optional
In NetSim v13.0,use the following lines of code:
fprintf(stderr, "\nPACKET ID: %d\nTX ID: %d\nRX ID: %d\nRX POWER(dBm): %f\nBER: %f\nTIME(Micro Sec): %f\n", packet->nPacketId, packet->nTransmitterId,
pstruEventDetails->nDeviceId, pdbm, ber, pstruEventDetails->dEventTime);
_getch(); //optional
STEP 3: After the source code is modified, rebuild IEEE802_11 module and replace the newly built libIEEE802.11.dll file in the bin folder of NetSim after renaming the original libIEEE802.11.dll file to say, libIEEE802.11_original.dll as a backup
STEP 4: Create a simple network scenario in which involves WLAN/IEEE802.11. Following is an example:
Upon running the simulation the parameters such as Packet ID, Transmitter ID, Receiver ID, Received Power, BER and Simulation Time will get printed to the simulation console, for each packet as shown below:
