Content of the repository

The wifi-central-controlled-aggregation.cc has more improvements. It contains the ns3 script. It can be run with ns3-27.

The file wifi-central-controlled-aggregation_v140.cc is the ns3 file used for the paper. It has been run with ns3-26 (https://www.nsnam.org/ns-3-26/).

The folder traces contains the traces used for the video download applications (http://www2.tkn.tu-berlin.de/research/trace/ltvt.html).

The folder shell_scripts_used_in_the_paper contains the files used for obtaining each of the figures presented in the IEEE Communications Letters paper:

How to use it

• Download ns3.

• Put the .cc file in the ns-3.26/scratch directory.

• Put a .sh file in the ns-3.26 directory.

• Run a .sh file. (You may need to adjust the name of the .cc file in the .sh script).
