The goal of this session is a comprehensive overview of the simulator (what we can fit into a day). The instructor is Tom Henderson. Slides and code will be posted here when available.

Please plan to make it to the building by 8:30 so that you may be registered and so we may start at 9am.

This consists of special topic tutorials:

• (09:00-10:30) Large-scale, distributed simulations with ns-3 (instructor: Peter Barnes)
• '(10:45-12:15) An introduction to the Direct Code Execution (DCE) environment, enabling users to use real application and Linux networking code in ns-3 (instructors: Tom Henderson and Hajime Tazaki)
• Lunch break
• (1:30-3:30) A survey of the LTE models, including model architecture, propagation models, LTE Radio Protocol Stack and EPC model. (instructors: Lorenza Giupponi and Biljana Bojovic)
• (3:45-5:45) Advanced wireless topics, including LTE/Wi-Fi coexistence. (instructors: Tom Henderson, Lorenza Giupponi, and Biljana Bojovic)

Meals

Lunch (boxed lunch on Monday, pizza and salad on Tuesday) will be provided. Coffee breaks (morning and afternoon) will be provided. For other food needs, an espresso bar with some food is open from 7:30-3pm daily in the building, and a Starbucks, pizza, and Subway (and small convenience store) are a short walk away in the student union HUB building.

Preparation

Nothing is strictly required, but working through the ns-3 tutorial should be helpful, if you haven't already.

You do not need to install anything to attend the training, but the below instructions are provided for those who may want to follow along.

Installation of ns-3 to your local system

Please see the Installation page on our wiki for per-system package requirements if you want to install ns-3, and follow instructions at this tutorial link on how to download ns-3.

Note that the minimal requirements for working from the command line are a recent C++ compiler (g++ or clang), and a Python (version 2) installation. The additional packages enable additional optional simulation features but can be skipped until needed.

Trying ns-3 on a Live ISO image

A 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04 Live DVD (ISO) will be posted for download and will also be available on flash and DVD media at the training session. The ISO will have prerequisite packages pre-installed and a recent copy of ns-3 source code.

Users may want to use this ISO file with a virtual machine tool such as VMware or VirtualBox.

Additional files

Links to any additional example files produced for the training (outside of the ns-3 release) will be posted here.
