1 Introduction

This page explains the output parameters and associated output files. The default output folder is Output which would be build at your "Current Folder" of MatLab. And you could reset it with parameter outputFolder.

The following table gives the related output parameters and the output files' name. You could set the parameters as true or false to activate or deactivate the output. About how to set the parameters, please check Tutorial page .

2 Format of the Output Files

The format of the output files are explained in this section.

2.1 printCBR (bool)

output file-1: CBRofGenericVehicle_*.xls (bool)

The CBR values sensed by one (generic) vehicle during the whole simulation (excluding the time interval at beginning)

Simulation time [s]	Channel Busy Ratio
1.1	0.21
1.2	0.23

output file-2: CBRstatistic_*.xls

The CDF of all CBRs values sensed by all vehicles during the whole simulation (excluding the time interval at beginning)

Channel Busy Ratio	CDF
0.04	0.000469
0.05	0.000939

2.2 printDataAge (bool)

e.g. awareness range (Raw) = [50, 150, 300] m

output file: data_age_*.xls

note: the 1st column is not the simulation time

data age [s]	#pkt (0~50)	CDF (0~50)	#pkt (50~150)	CDF (50~150)	#pkt (150~300)	CDF (150~300)
0.101	26	0.001343	78	0.001674	59	0.000945
0.102	95	0.00625	300	0.008114	495	0.008878

2.3 printPacketDelay (bool)

Packet Delay, also known as End-to-End Delay (EED), is defined as the time interval between the generation of the packet and its effective reception. The metric is computed for each successful reception within the selected awareness range.

e.g. awareness range (Raw) = [50, 150, 300] m

output file: packet_delay_*.xls

note: The 1st column is the packet delay time that according to the parameter delayResolution (default: 1 ms)

packet delay [s]	#pkt (0~50)	CDF (0~50)	#pkt (50~150)	CDF (50~150)	#pkt (150~300)	CDF (150~300)
0.001	32	0.001506	89	0.001889	66	0.001046
0.002	109	0.006635	306	0.008383	511	0.009142

2.4 printPacketReceptionRatio (bool)

e.g. awareness range (Raw) = [50, 150, 300] m

output file: packet_reception_ratio_*.xls

distance [m]	(2) Num OK	(3) Num error	(4) Num blocked	(5) total packets (2)+(3)+(4)	PRR (2)/(5)
10	1625	0	0	1625	1
20	6135	20	1	6156	0.996589
30	4709	33	1	4743	0.992832

2.5 printUpdateDelay (bool)

Update Delay also known as Inter-Packet Gap, is defined as the time interval between two consecutive successfully received beacons from the same node within the selected awareness range.

e.g. awareness range (Raw) = [50, 150, 300] m

output file: update_delay_*.xls

note: The 1st column is the packet delay time that according to the parameter delayResolution (default: 1 ms)

update delay [s]	#pkt (0~50)	CDF (0~50)	#pkt (50~150)	CDF (50~150)	#pkt (150~300)	CDF (150~300)	#pkt [0~300 m]	CDF [0~300 m]
0.006	4	0.000207	3	0.000064	2	0.000032	9	0.00007
0.007	0	0.000207	0	0.000064	0	0.000032	0	0.00007

2.6 printWirelessBlindSpotProb (bool)

e.g. awareness range (Raw) = [50, 150, 300] m

output file: wireless_blind_spot_*.xls

note: the 1st column is not the simulation time

time interval (TI) [s]	(2) #event, delay >= TI (0~50)	(3) #event, delay < TI (0~50)	ratio (2)/((2)+(3))	(5) #event, delay >= TI (50~150)	(6) #event, delay < TI (50~150)	ratio (5)/((5)+(6))	(8) #event, delay >= TI (150~300)	(9) #event, delay < TI (150~300)	ratio (8)/((8)+(9))
