It was 2'nd conference I had. The environment very common where nothing so exited. The audience to small. All of them was presenter it's self. I never get any question from audience during my presentation, but it very nice when we can gather with all researcher in Malaysia with difference background i.e. medicine, ICT, engineering, physic & chemical etc.
Now I want to concentrate on how to create our own algorithm, some detail need to clearify i.e. what thing need to implement for our algorithm. Working in NS-2 there are limitation thing we can do in TcL language. But for our case we need to edit in C++ method where new library to be introduce.
We create our own programmer-define libraries to further modularize our program. Some brief about programmer-defined library. In library contain some general purpose function that we aspect to use in future application. Then after we clarify them pun in one library and implement them, we can use in other projects, just we use in standard library functions in many other programs.
Now I got confirmation my abstract have been review by panel and they have decided to accept my abstract. So first thing to make payment for registration fees but application for registration fee need to submit along with the paper, than the paper need to complete first. I plan to present these paper conference during mid December...
My paper based on Comparison study AODV, DSDV & Protoname routing protocol for WSN
Again thank Allah for your kindness You always taking care of me even do I not good on my working field ...
I got receive email wrote like this:
"The Steering Committee has vet through your abstract and accepted your paper for presentation at MSTC 2008. However due to limited slots for oral presentation, the Steering Committee will be finalizing the status of oral papers by the 31 October 2008. You will be notified by the Secretariat if your paper is accepted for the Oral presentation."
So my paper has accepted for these conference, wow... I'm so happy right now, hopefully there have any slot for me, Thank Allah for Your kindness, AlhamduillLah syukur...
WSN is one routing protocol algorithm that depend on battery as power supply. Every strategy of routing protocol need to plan in order to save battery power as much as possible. This is because of by focus on energy consumption we can ensure the live spend of battery will be prolong. However to save battery energy it got limitation where average delay and throughput for the network must in acceptable range. But for let we see what existing routing algorithm can give in order to save power consumption.
Here there are some example simulation and result show power consumption by Jtrana:
Here node 0 where act as access point to collect data from common node
Here example one of common node where the power consumption less than access point
We are now compare between three routing algorithm, we are only focus on access point because from our observation show access point will always use large of energy consumption. So we make it more than other common nodes.
After I success installing new routing protocol call Protoname the I want to try these routing protocol performance, I try the same situation there are:
| 1. | Scenery size | 350 meters X 350 meters |
| 2. | Transmission range | 175 meters |
| 3. | No. of node | 9 nodes (8 common nodes & 1 sink node) |
| 4. | Routing Protocol | Protoname (New protocol) |

My supervisor, Mr Suhaimi ask me to propose paper conference for represent of our group, then I try to search from previous email where our RMC director Assoc. Prof Dr. Md Zaini and other have sent 2 or 3 notice about call for paper conferences before.
But before that the question mark is what result need to include and it is that result enough to be accept in that conference. Whatever the is thing I need to do it no matter how....
have done a progress presentation last week. During presentation Mr. Fairuz where he is coordinator of RA seminar suggested when every simulation and result achieve during our research work, after that we need to put on one A4 paper then give some explanation on it. Then if we want to publish on several conference, we can just choose which result need to include for respective conference, so that we can publish 2 or 3 conference in the same time, I think is good to us to apply the tips on our research management. Peace...
I try to understand relationship of these protoname routing protoname as well other routing protocol. But before that I try to look for other routing protocol where like example DSDV and AODV. What are trying to see is every similar type of file in each folder. Also to see what another file that it "include" during beginning of program. There are:
| DSDV | Protoname | AODV | ||
| 1. | File that include in routing table header | Config.h Scheduler.h Queue.h | Trace.h Cmu-trace.h | Assert.h Sys/types.h Config.h Lib/bds-list.h Scheduler.h |
| 2. | What are routing table use as parameter | Destination-Addrest Next Hop Metric distance | Network address | Neighbor address |
| 3. | File that include in routing protocol header | Config.h Agent.h Ip.h Delay.h Scheduler.h Queue.h Trace.h Arp.h ll.h Mac.h Priqueue.h Rtable.h | Protoname_rtable.h Protoname_pkt.h Agent.h Packet.h Trace.h Timer_handler.h Random.h classifier-port.h Cmu-trace.h | Cmu-trace.h |
I want give some brief explanation about main important point in protoname routing algorithm there was 5 file we need to build up where there are:
All these files got their own function...
Then it also need to configure other file to declare all new file that we added before like example:
After that we just can execute make and the new routing protocol should work in our NS-2 simulation..
You can get protoname file Here
I publish one paper on VoIP research field with title VoIP over MYREN in National Conference on Telecommunication Technologies and Malaysia Conference on Photonics 2008 (NCTT-MCP 2008) at IOI Palm Resort, Putrajaya where it is near to JW Marriot Hotel. I present the paper on 27th August 2008. It is good for me to experiencing about presenting conference paper. My paper will be available in IEEE library website soon. If you want take a look the sample of my paper available to download at here
After some review on paper as what I mention before, showing how to add some new routing protocol. There involve some editing on existing NS-2 library like e.g make.o, packet.h & etc. But after I successes install new routing protocol call protoname the test result from some simple simulation show all packet drop from network but it manage work with no error on the program. So now I need to compare this routing protocol with current routing protocol available NS-2 library.
Now it is time for me to concentrate on deep routing protocol algorithm. Then the question is: where to start? Because to edit on routing protocol it is was big issue & real hard work to be done. For the beginning what I want to try is review some tips based on paper “Implementing a New Unicast routing Protocol in NS2” from University of Murcia, Spain, then hopefully by try these step can be give some idea where area is need to concentrate....
Mr. Farizul found DVD that contain latest Xandros version 4.5, that can work and support on SATA based PC. I try to install with new PC and finally I successful installed. Thank to Mr. Farizul doing searching on it. The performance for new Xandros, in new PC is very good. With Pentium Core 2 Duo come along with 4G Byte RAM can give NS-2 simulation very fast. The next problem is the trace file produced by simulation take longer time to analyze, especially trace from mannasim script generator. Sometime trace file take around 1 or 2 days to complete. I want to try on server if it can analyze more fast than PC.
Farizul and me are trying install Linux at new computer, Ubuntu, Xandros & Kubuntu. Most problem we are facing was new computer come with SATA cable, that Linux cannot recognize so need to find way to install them...
Another testing conduct with DSDV routing protocol and increased the number of nodes. From the result show some difference behaviour happen. The simulation environment is:
| 1. | Scenery size | 400 meters X 400 meters |
| 2. | Transmission range | 200 meters |
| 3. | No. of node | 25 nodes (24 common nodes & 1 sink node) |
| 4. | Routing Protocol | DSDV |
From figure above only 3 nodes manage generate more than 4000 packet. Now we try to see whether the three nodes most generate packet have relationship with forwarding packet.
There are several relation ship about the node there are:
.bmp)
This may be give some clue about forwarding packet...
From the result show not much packet manage to receive at access point, this what we want to figure about?
A lot of dropped packet, more than 8000 packet so, this what we want to avoid of.
Now I try the same situation before but a bit of modification on type of routing protocol and size of area. DSDV routing protocol; it is not big reason for me to change the area size but just only to see the difference between of them. There are:
| 1. | Scenery size | 400 meters X 400 meters |
| 2. | Transmission range | 200 meters |
| 3. | No. of node | 9 nodes (8 common nodes & 1 sink node) |
| 4. | Routing Protocol | DSDV |
From figure above node no. 3 & 4 not activate to generate packet.
Also not many of intermediate nodes involve forwarding packet.
But quite much of packet generated can arrive to the access point.
Still we can see most of the packet dropped on network.
Next I will change try on environment with more no. of nodes (it is up to 25 no. of nodes) and but again with DSDV routing protocol.I try difference combination of simulation script with TcL generator on scenery size, transmission range and no. of node. Before this I was try some simulation show the power consumption not much used within 100 second simulation, where about 5 joules. So I try to set the initial energy at 5 joules where we can see power usage until the battery empty.
The simulation environment was set on:
| 1. | Scenery size | 350 meters X 350 meters |
| 2. | Transmission range | 175 meters |
| 3. | No. of node | 9 nodes (8 common nodes & 1 sink node) |
| 4. | Routing Protocol | DSDV |
some forwarding packet in intermediate nodes and
only only a few of the packets can receive at access point
where others drop on the network.
In future work are I will simulate the scenario with the same no. of nodes but difference type of routing protocol.
Now still doing on the evaluation on mannasim script, where it can generate TcL script file and after that just run on it and produce trace file. But when we are evaluating on the trace file, it come out with a lot of drop from the node.
Currently I have change to Jtrana. Jtrana is better than previous trace analyzer where it can show the power consumption on the node.
My new partner was Fairuz Najwa, she was good and clever girl, her FYP (Final Year Project) was in WSN area, so it is good to have someone expert in the team.
Other than that, my fellow in other team which,
Nurulhady and Farizul Helmi will join and work together both groups to gain our progressing to the research….
Mannasim is add-ons to NS-2 for wsn, we used it's GUI to generate tcl script but suddenly only AODV, DSDV, DYMO & Leach manage give the output & other than that still having problem, hopefully it can be solve later.
And another tool we use is trace graph, from tcl script we can generate trace file, from trace file we can analyze traffic to see behavior of the routing protocol. Only AODV & DSDV can give good graph. DYMO and Leach give some error like "cannot read the IP file" & "maximum variable size allowed by the program is exceeded...", I want to try by reducing the node like 2 or 3 nodes and see how the result is...?
I work with my group doing research about finding new routing algorithm for wireless sensor network, the research it self only cover on simulation, meaning not involve with hardware, another person will doing all on hardware and not involve me.
A'kum, I would like greed alhamdulilLah after build up my blog and I hope from this moment from this blog can give me as tool to publish of my finding and discuss with everyone. By build up this blog, it can gain speed of progressing to complete my research....
thank you to everyone...
