Detailed Description

Control the scheduling of simulation events.

The internal simulation clock is maintained as a 64-bit integer in a unit specified by the user through the TimeStepPrecision::Set function. This means that it is not possible to specify event expiration times with anything better than this user-specified accuracy. Events whose expiration time is the same modulo this accuracy are scheduled in FIFO order: the first event inserted in the scheduling queue is scheduled to expire first.

A simple example of how to use the Simulator class to schedule events is shown below: 

/* -*- Mode:C++; c-file-style:"gnu"; indent-tabs-mode:nil; -*- */
#include "ns3/simulator.h"
#include "ns3/nstime.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace ns3;

class MyModel {
public:
  void Start (void);

};

                       this, Simulator::Now ().GetSeconds ());
}
void
MyModel::DealWithEvent (double value)
{
  std::cout << "Member method received event at " << Simulator::Now ().GetSeconds () 
            << "s started at " << value << "s" << std::endl;
}

static void 
random_function (MyModel *model)
{
  std::cout << "random function received event at " << 
      Simulator::Now ().GetSeconds () << "s" << std::endl;

Member Function Documentation

static void ns3::Simulator::Cancel ( const EventId &  id  )  [static]

Set the cancel bit on this event: the event's associated function will not be invoked when it expires. This method has the same visible effect as the ns3::Simulator::remove method but its algorithmic complexity is much lower: it has O(1) complexity. This method has the exact same semantics as ns3::EventId::cancel. Note that it is not possible to cancel events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash).

Parameters:
id the event to cancel
static void ns3::Simulator::Destroy ( void   )  [static]

Every event scheduled by the Simulator::insertAtDestroy method is invoked. Then, we ensure that any memory allocated by the Simulator is freed. This method is typically invoked at the end of a simulation to avoid false-positive reports by a leak checker. After this method has been invoked, it is actually possible to restart a new simulation with a set of calls to Simulator::run and Simulator::insert_*.

static Time ns3::Simulator::GetDelayLeft ( const EventId &  id  )  [static]
Parameters:
id the event id to analyse
Returns:
the delay left until the input event id expires. if the event is not running, this method returns zero.
static Time ns3::Simulator::GetMaximumSimulationTime ( void   )  [static]
Returns:
the maximum simulation time at which an event can be scheduled.

The returned value will always be bigger than or equal to Simulator::Now.

static bool ns3::Simulator::IsExpired ( const EventId &  id  )  [static]

This method has O(1) complexity. Note that it is not possible to test for the expiration of events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash). An event is said to "expire" when it starts being scheduled which means that if the code executed by the event calls this function, it will get true.

Parameters:
id the event to test for expiration
Returns:
true if the event has expired, false otherwise.
static bool ns3::Simulator::IsFinished ( void   )  [static]

If there any any events lefts to be scheduled, return true. Return false otherwise.

static Time ns3::Simulator::Next ( void   )  [static]

If Simulator::isFinished returns true, the behavior of this method is undefined. Otherwise, it returns the microsecond-based time of the next event expected to be scheduled.

static Time ns3::Simulator::Now ( void   )  [static]

Return the "current simulation time".

static void ns3::Simulator::Remove ( const EventId &  id  )  [static]

Remove an event from the event list. This method has the same visible effect as the ns3::EventId::Cancel method but its algorithmic complexity is much higher: it has often O(log(n)) complexity, sometimes O(n), sometimes worse. Note that it is not possible to remove events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash).

Parameters:
id the event to remove from the list of scheduled events.
static void ns3::Simulator::Run ( void   )  [static]

Run the simulation until one of:

  • no events are present anymore
  • the user called Simulator::stop
  • the user called Simulator::stopAtUs and the expiration time of the next event to be processed is greater than or equal to the stop time.
static void ns3::Simulator::RunOneEvent ( void   )  [static]

Process only the next simulation event, then return immediately.

static void ns3::Simulator::SetImplementation ( Ptr< SimulatorImpl >  impl  )  [static]
Parameters:
impl a new simulator implementation

The simulator provides a mechanism to swap out different implementations. For example, the default implementation is a single-threaded simulator that performs no realtime synchronization. By calling this method, you can substitute in a new simulator implementation that might be multi- threaded and synchronize events to a realtime clock.

The simulator implementation can be set when the simulator is not running.

static void ns3::Simulator::SetScheduler ( Ptr< Scheduler >  scheduler  )  [static]
Parameters:
scheduler a new event scheduler

The event scheduler can be set at any time: the events scheduled in the previous scheduler will be transfered to the new scheduler before we start to use it.

static void ns3::Simulator::Stop ( void   )  [static]

If an event invokes this method, it will be the last event scheduled by the Simulator::run method before returning to the caller.

static void ns3::Simulator::Stop ( Time const &  time  )  [static]

Force the Simulator::run method to return to the caller when the expiration time of the next event to be processed is greater than or equal to the stop time. The stop time is relative to the current simulation time.

Parameters:
time the stop time, relative to the current time.
