Detailed Description

The Random Number Generator (RNG) that returns a sequential list of values.

Class SequentialRandomVariable defines a random number generator that returns a sequence of values. The sequence monotonically increases for a period, then wraps around to the low value and begins monotonically increasing again.

double ns3::SequentialRandomVariable::GetValue ( void  )
virtual

Returns the next value in the sequence returned by this RNG stream.

Returns
The next value in the sequence returned by this RNG stream.

The following four parameters define the sequence. For example,

  • m_min = 0 (First value of the sequence)
  • m_max = 5 (One more than the last value of the sequence)
  • m_increment = 1 (Random variable increment between sequence values)
  • m_consecutive = 2 (Number of times each member of the sequence is repeated)

creates a RNG that has the sequence 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 0, 0 ...
