Changelog:

• Updated to ns-3.37 and moved from waf to CMake.
• Added BurstyAppStatsCalculator and stats-calculator-example.cc, to simplify stats collection.

v1.0.0

Updated release of the ns-3 VR application.

This new release v1.0.0 refers to the model explained in our latest manuscript (submitted to IEEE Access, pre-print available: arXiv:2108.04577).

Changelog:

• Acquired VR traces for both 30 and 60 FPS streams for 4 different application (over 4 hours, available in CSV format)
• Updated VR model according to the new traces
• Update examples and results-generating scripts, as well as documentation and overall code quality and stability

This release was tested on ns-3.33.
Older versions of ns-3 miss the CsvReader class, necessary only for TraceFileBurstGenerator.

v0.2.0

Updated release of the ns-3 VR application.
A description of the framework can be found in the documentation, while an overview of motivation, models, and results can be found in our published paper (open access DOI: 10.1145/3460797.3460807).

Version v0.1.0 comprises the code for the original conference submission, version v0.2.0 comprises the code for the final version of the manuscript.

Changelog:

• Acquired VR traces for both 30 and 60 FPS streams
• Traces were obtained with a more powerful machine comprising an nVidia RTX 2080 Ti (with respect to the system used for v0.1.0, comprising an nVidia 950M)
• Updated VR model also to support user-defined frame rates
• Update frame size standard deviation distribution from linear (m*x) to a power law (a*x^b) to improve the fit
• Update examples and results-generating scripts

This release was tested on ns-3.33.
Older versions of ns-3 miss the CsvReader class, necessary only for TraceFileBurstGenerator.

v0.1.0

First release of the ns-3 VR application.
A description of the framework can be found in the documentation, while an overview of motivation, models, and results can be found in our published paper (pre-print available: arXiv:2103.04609v1).

This release was tested on ns-3.33.
