Detailed Description

The uniform distribution Random Number Generator (RNG) that allows stream numbers to be set deterministically.

This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed uniform distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various uniform distributions.

The low end of the range is always included and the high end of the range is always excluded.

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double min = 0.0;
double max = 10.0;
Ptr<UniformRandomVariable> x = CreateObject<UniformRandomVariable> ();
x->SetAttribute ("Min", DoubleValue (min));
x->SetAttribute ("Max", DoubleValue (max));
// The values returned by a uniformly distributed random
// variable should always be within the range
//
//     [min, max)  .
//
double value = x->GetValue ();

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t ns3::UniformRandomVariable::GetInteger	(	uint32_t	min,
		uint32_t	max
	)

Returns a random unsigned integer from a uniform distribution over the interval [min,max] including both ends.

Parameters

min	Low end of the range.
max	High end of the range.

Returns: A random unsigned integer value.

Note that antithetic values are being generated if m_isAntithetic is equal to true. If $x$ is a value that would be returned normally, then $(max - x$ ) is the distance that $x$ would be from $max$ . The value returned in the antithetic case, $x'$ , is calculated as

$x' = min + (max - x) ,$

which is the lower bound plus the distance $x$ is from the upper bound.

Note that we have to re-implement this method here because the method is overloaded above for the two-argument variant and the c++ name resolution rules don't work well with overloads split between parent and child classes.
