Directed Diffusion Protocols in NS2 Simulation

My project involves implementing variations of the Directed Diffusion protocol in the Network Simulator 2 (NS2) and comparing their performance based on several metrics. The simulation will involve: - 15 nodes with node 0 acting as the sink node. - A terrain area of 2m x 2m. - Using a Queue system (Queue/DropTail/PriQueue). - PHY/MAC layer set to IEEE 802.15.4. - An OmniAntenna for transmission. - Initial energy set at 2J with Transmission Power: 0.066J Receiving Power: 0.0395J Idle Power: 0.0035J Transmission Distance: 1m Listening Distance: 1.5m You'll need to implement three specific protocols: 1. The original Directed Diffusion in a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). 2. An improved version that uses a minimal hop count approach for establishing gradients and optimal path selection based on remaining energy. 3. A variant with a dynamic cluster head, which selects the highest remaining energy node as the cluster head during gradient setup. The key performance metrics for comparison will include: - Average Energy Consumption (most important) - End to End Total Delay(most important) - Packet Delivery Ratio(most important) - Number of Surviving Nodes(most important) Ideal candidates for this project will have extensive experience with NS2, network protocol implementation, and performance analysis. A strong understanding of energy consumption metrics and wireless network simulations is crucial. Please include examples of similar projects in your application.
