Abstract

We validate the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer model in ns3 by means of measurements on the EXTREME testbed. We consider different scenarios: communications within a single pair of nodes, multi-user communications using either VoIP or saturated traffic, and communications in the presence of hidden nodes. For each scenario we describe in detail our testbed and simulation setup, and compare the results provided by the ns3 simulator with the performance measured on the testbed.
