Propagation Models

Mininet-WiFi supports the following propagation models:

• Friis Propagation Loss Model,
• Log-Distance Propagation Loss Model (default)
• Log-Normal Shadowing Propagation Loss Model
• International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Propagation Loss Model
• Two-Ray Ground Propagation Loss Model

How can I setup a Propagation Model?

You have to call the method net.setPropagationModel() like in examples/propagationModel.py.

You may also want to consider some parameters, for example:

Friis Propagation Loss Model

net.setPropagationModel(model="friis", sL = $int)

sL = system loss

Log-Distance Propagation Loss Model

net.setPropagationModel(model="logDistance", sL = $int, exp = $int)

sL = system loss
exp = exponent

---

Log-Normal Shadowing Propagation Loss Model

net.setPropagationModel(model="logNormalShadowing", sL=$int, exp=$int, variance=$int)

sL = system loss
exp = exponent
variance = gaussian variance
