WOSS ns3 Integration Framework
This repository aims to introduce WOSS support for ns3 users.
WOSS is a multi-threaded C++ framework that permits the integration of any existing underwater channel simulator that expects environmental data as input and provides as output a channel realization. Currently, WOSS integrates the Bellhop ray-tracing program. Thanks to its automation the user only has to specify the location in the world and the time where the simulation should take place. This is done by setting the simulated date and the wanted latitude and longitude of every node involved. The simulator automatically handles the rest (see technical description). WOSS can be integrated in any network simulator or simulation tool that supports C++.
'woss-ns3' relies on the following libraries:
- WOSS
- Acoustic Toolbox
- NetCDF 4 with HDF5 or NetCDF legacy (optional)
Latest WOSS source code, installation instructions and related libraries can be found at http://telecom.dei.unipd.it/ns/woss/
'woss-ns3' module will be automatically installed by the ns3 app installer, but this feature is not yet complete.
It can also be manually installed:
- by downloading and installing the recommended Acoustic Toolbox library
- with optional NetCDF support, by downloading and installing the recommended HDF5, NetCDF libraries, with NetCDF4 format support
- by downloading and installing the latest WOSS library with optional NetCDF4 and HDF5 support
- by cloning this repository in the
<ns3-dir>/srcpath and then running one of the following:- NetCDF4 and HDF5 support, pay attention to the CXXFLAGS inline redefinition due to a unresolved NetCDF-C++4 API warning
./waf configure --with-woss-source=<woss_source_path> --with-woss-library=<woss_lib_path> --with-netcdf4-install=<netcdf4_and_hdf5_installed_path> CXXFLAGS="-Wall -Werror -Wno-unused-variable" - with no NetCDF support
./waf configure --with-woss-source=<woss_source_path> --with-woss-library=<woss_lib_path>
- NetCDF4 and HDF5 support, pay attention to the CXXFLAGS inline redefinition due to a unresolved NetCDF-C++4 API warning

Any issue should be reported via github Issue tracker.
