Homework

The settings for homework 1

inter-car distance: 10m, 30m, 100m
radio range: 100m, 250m, 1000m

loss model
1.loss rate=0.01, uniform distribution
2.loss rate=0.01, exponential distribution
3.loss rate=0.01, pareto distribution
4. no loss

radio model
1. free space
2. twoRayGround

so the total should be 3x3x4x2=72 configuration
one simulation run for each configuration

one set of graphs will have inter-car distance as x-axis and latency as y-axis
the other set of graphs will have radio range as x-axis and latency as y-axis

the student should try to answer the following questions:
1.for a given radio model and a given inter-car distance, how the loss model
and radio range affects the latency?
2. for a given radio model and a given radio range, how the loss model and inter-car distance affects the latency?
