Detailed Description

2D random walk mobility model which avoids buildings.

This class reuses most of the code of RandomWalk2dMobilityModel, but adds the awareness of buildings objects which are avoided by moving users. Each instance moves with a speed and direction chosen at random with the user-provided random variables until either a fixed distance has been walked or until a fixed amount of time. If we hit one of the boundaries (specified by a rectangle) of the model, we rebound on the boundary with a reflexive angle and speed. If we hit one of the buildings, we rebound with a random direction which makes sure that the next step does not enter the building.

The default values for the random variable that describes the speed is taken from Figure 1 in the paper: Henderson, L.F., 1971. The statistics of crowd fluids. nature, 229(5284), p.381.

◆ DoAssignStreams()

int64_t ns3::RandomWalk2dOutdoorMobilityModel::DoAssignStreams ( int64_t  start)

The default implementation does nothing but return the passed-in parameter.

Subclasses using random variables are expected to override this.

Parameters
startstarting stream index
Returns
the number of streams used

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::RandomWalk2dOutdoorMobilityModel::DoDispose ( )
overrideprivatevirtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

◆ DoInitialize()

void ns3::RandomWalk2dOutdoorMobilityModel::DoInitialize ( )
overrideprivatevirtual

Initialize() implementation.

This method is called only once by Initialize(). If the user calls Initialize() multiple times, DoInitialize() is called only the first time.

Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.
