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 Time::SetResolution 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 in sample-simulator.cc:

Member Function Documentation

◆ Cancel()

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

[in] id the event to cancel

◆ Destroy()

void ns3::Simulator::Destroy ( )

static

Execute the events scheduled with ScheduleDestroy().

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, Simulator::Schedule and Simulator::ScheduleWithContext.

◆ GetContext()

uint32_t ns3::Simulator::GetContext ( )

static

Get the current simulation context.

The simulation context is the ns-3 notion of a Logical Process. Events in a single context should only modify state associated with that context. Events for objects in other contexts should be scheduled with ScheduleWithContext() to track the context switches. In other words, events in different contexts should be mutually thread safe, by not modify overlapping model state.

In circumstances where the context can't be determined, such as during object initialization, the enum value NO_CONTEXT should be used.

Returns: The current simulation context

As a side effect we also call LogSetTimePrinter() and LogSetNodePrinter() with the default implementations since we can't really do any logging until we have a SimulatorImpl and Scheduler.

◆ IsExpired()

bool ns3::Simulator::IsExpired ( const EventId & id )

static

Check if an event has already run or been cancelled.

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

[in] id The event to test for expiration.

◆ ScheduleNow() [3/3]

template<typename... Us, typename... Ts>

EventId ns3::Simulator::ScheduleNow	(	void(*)(Us...)	f,

Schedule an event to expire Now.

All events scheduled to to expire "Now" are scheduled FIFO, after all normal events have expired.

Template Parameters

Us	[deduced] Formal function argument types.
Ts	[deduced] Actual function argument types.

Parameters

[in]	f	The function to invoke.
[in]	args	Arguments to pass to MakeEvent.

Returns: The EventId of the scheduled event.

	)

static

Schedule a future event execution (in a different context).

This method is thread-safe: it can be called from any thread.

◆ ScheduleWithContext() [2/3]

template<typename FUNC , typename std::enable_if<!std::is_convertible< FUNC, Ptr< EventImpl > >::value, int >::type , typename std::enable_if<!std::is_function< typename std::remove_pointer< FUNC >::type >::value, int >::type , typename... Ts>

void ns3::Simulator::ScheduleWithContext	(	uint32_t	context,
		const Time &	delay,
		FUNC	f,
		Ts &&...	args
	)

static

Schedule an event with the given context.

A context of 0xffffffff means no context is specified. This method is thread-safe: it can be called from any thread.

We leverage SFINAE to discard this overload if the second argument is convertible to Ptr<EventImpl> or is a function pointer.

Template Parameters

FUNC	[deduced] Template type for the function to invoke.
Ts	[deduced] Argument types.

Parameters

[in]	context	User-specified context parameter
[in]	delay	The relative expiration time of the event.
[in]	f	The function to invoke.
[in]	args	Arguments to pass to MakeEvent.

◆ SetImplementation()

void ns3::Simulator::SetImplementation ( Ptr< SimulatorImpl > impl )

static

Parameters

[in] 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.

◆ SetScheduler()

void ns3::Simulator::SetScheduler ( ObjectFactory schedulerFactory )

static

Set the scheduler type with an ObjectFactory.

Parameters

[in] schedulerFactory The configured ObjectFactory.

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

◆ Stop() [1/2]

void ns3::Simulator::Stop ( )

static

Tell the Simulator the calling event should be the last one executed.

If a running event invokes this method, it will be the last event executed by the Simulator::Run method before returning to the caller.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Stop() [2/2]

void ns3::Simulator::Stop ( const Time & delay )

static

Schedule the time delay until the Simulator should stop.

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

[in] delay The stop time, relative to the current time.
