 | Download the latest version of wowSim (v0.75), an event driven C simulator for Vehicular Area Networks (VANETs) implementing 802.11-like medium access protocol and a realistic description of vehicular dynamics (based on Cellular Automata and Coupled Maps) and several other features. |

Usage
wow-0.75 (ICC'08 flavor)
usage:
wow [general opt] [traffic opt] [channel opt] [algorithm opt]
where:
----[general options]---------------------------------------
-D: debug flag - a debug file (<debug.out>) is created in
the directory <debug>
-?: help - the available options are displayed
-T: test mode (use all defaults values, useful to sneak SEGV)
-f: force to overwrite existing files
-O: use output <dir> rather than default one
-C: quit after <num> cycles
by default, simulation terminates when networking
performance converges; however, to study traffic
dynamic, a lower cycles number may be sufficient
----[traffic model options]---------------------------------------
-t: traffic model {0:Poisson, 1:NaSch, 2:NaSch-(muSTEP),
3:Gipps(*),4:Gipps-(muSTEP),
4:VDR, 6:VDR-(muSTEP),
7:Tsquare, 8:Tsquare-(muSTEP),
9:Fukui, 10:Fukui-(muSTEP),
11:TOCA}
-R: [realistic models] vehicles'density [vehs/km]
-l: [Poisson] vehicles'arrival rate
-v: [Poisson] speed pdf {unif|cost|exp}
-n: [Poisson] new cars arrival period after the accident(min)
-s: [Poisson] time between consecutive broadcast cycles (min)
----[channel model options]---------------------------------------
-c: channel model {0:ErrorFree, 1:Bernoulli, 2:Transitional, 3:Gilbert}
-x: parameter <x> meaning depend from the channel_model:
CHANNEL_BERNOULLI: parameter <x> = loss probability
CHANNEL_TRANSITIONAL: parameter <x> = channel.transition
----[algorithmic options]-----------------------------------------
-a: algorithm (none|optimum|pflood|d2flood|help|hybrid|d3flood)
-r: vehicles transmission range (m)
-P: [pflood] flooding probability
-k: [d2flood] k power
-2: [d2flood] d2flood rule number
-h: [d3flood] h power
-3: [d2flood] d3flood rule number
-B: [help] Average Beacon Transmission Interval (sec)
-e: [help] <epsilon> fixed error margin (m)
-E: [help] rule number for adaptive margin
-y: parameter <y> meaning depend from the algorithmic context:
ALGO HYBRID: hybridation type (see help.c)
-H: [hybrid] Hybridity degree in [0,1], with 0=>help
use -y to tune behavior (see help.c)
note:
at least one arg should be specified; for all the others,
their default value will be selected
IMPORTANT:
directory debug must exist (even in non-debug mode)
otherwise SEGV will be raised
