Project Code

A NOTE REGARDING THE CODE: All code is released under the GNU General Public License. If you find any of the code useful, please email me and let me know (matt at matthewjmiller dot net). All the code is experimental and should be used at your own risk; I assume no responsibility for any damage that it may cause.

Most of my code in grad school was written in ns-2 (C++/OTcl). However, I do not plan to post that code because (1) it's pretty difficult to add code to different versions of ns-2 (mine was mostly written in 2.26), (2) there's no documentation for my extensions, and (3) the code was experimental with many overlapping parameters and protocols so it is difficult to separate individual components of interest. However, if you're really interested in it, email me and I may be able to send you some useful code (with the disclaimer that there's no technical support provided after that).

RFIDSIM

  • Download: rfidsim-0.1.tar.gz

  • Date: December 2006

  • Language: C++

  • Documentation: Link (also included in the tar file).

  • Description: This is the core of a RFID simulator that I was working on before graduating. It is here for other developers that may be interested in extending for their own experiments. It is very much in the alpha stages and not intended for general users. Check out the documentation for more detail about the simulator and what improvements it needs.

TinyOS Implementation of Probability-Based Broadcast Forwarding

  • Download: tinyos-1.1.15-pbbf.tar.gz

  • Date: June 2006

  • Language: nesC (variant of C)

  • References: Practical Exploitation of the Energy-Latency Tradeoff for Sensor Network Broadcast (PerSeNS and tech report versions from my publications)

  • Description: This implements the Probability-Based Broadcast Forwarding protocol (PBBF), described in our ICDCS paper, in TinyOS 1.1.15. It is implemented on top of B-MAC by Polastre et al.

    Unfortunately, I do not have time to make a README or documentation for these changes, but I commented all my modifications with "MATT", so you can grep for that string to find the changes.

TOSSIM CC1000 Code

  • Download: tinyos-1.1.15-sim_cc1000.tar.gz

  • Date: May 2006

  • Language: nesC (variant of C)

  • Description: One of the problems I ran in to in TinyOS 1.1.15 is that the CC1000 radio model for TOSSIM no longer corresponds to the $TOSROOT/tos/platform/mica2/ radio components. In particular, I wanted to test the power save protocol from the Mica2 platform (i.e., B-MAC) in TOSSIM.

    So, I made some modifications and symlinks in the $TOSROOT/tos/platform/pc/CC1000Radio/ directory to be able to use most of the Mica2 CC1000 components in TOSSIM (notably, SysTime and SysTimeStamping components do not work correctly in TOSSIM). The symlinks are such that the major CC1000 components used in TOSSIM are symlinked to the corresponding Mica2 file. So, if you're editing, say, $TOSROOT/tos/platform/mica2/CC1000RadioIntM.nc then you do not have to make corresponding changes in $TOSROOT/tos/platform/pc/CC1000Radio/CC1000RadioIntM.nc since this latter file is a symlink to the former file.

    Unfortunately, I do not have time to make a README or documentation for these changes, but I commented all my modifications with "MATT", so you can grep for that string to find the changes.

ns-2 Code
  • Download:
    • cs497ig_paper_code.tar.gz: This includes the simulation code and scripts for (1) Probability-Based Broadcast Forwarding (PBBF) (ICDCS 2005) and (2) key distribution for sensor networks (Infocom 2006).
    • one_radio_code.tar.gz: This includes the simulation code and scripts for (1) dynamic ATIM windows (CS-ATIM and DCS-ATIM) (MASS 2005) and (2) multilevel power save routing.
    • two_radio_code.tar.gz: This is the simulation code and scripts to create devices with two radios that can be configured with different energy consumption characteristics.
    • wakeup_code.tar.gz: This is the simulation code and scripts for (1) testing the various versions of STEM protocols (PhD thesis) and (2) the triggered wake-up protocol (TMC 2005 and MS thesis).
    • wcnc04_code.tar.gz: This is the simulation code and scripts for the work described in my WCNC 2004 paper.
     

  • Date: 2002-2006

  • Language: C++/OTcl and Perl (for scripting)

  • Description: This is the simulation code that I wrote for my projects. I think this was all done in version 2.26 (a couple may have been in 2.1b9a). It is not very well organized, but each download has a brief description of what the code contains. Also, note that the tar files only include the files that I modified, not the entire ns-2 distribution.

    Unfortunately, I do not have time to make a README or documentation for these changes, but I commented all my modifications with "MATT", so you can grep for that string to find the changes.
