# EMANE Antenna Profiles
* Table of Contents
{:toc}

## Overview
Introduction to using the EMANE antenna profile in CORE, based on the example
EMANE Demo linked below.

[EMANE Demo 6](https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane-tutorial/wiki/Demonstration-6)
for more specifics.

## Demo Setup
We will need to create some files in advance of starting this session.

Create directory to place antenna profile files.
```shell
mkdir /tmp/emane
```

Create `/tmp/emane/antennaprofile.xml` with the following contents.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE profiles SYSTEM "file:///usr/share/emane/dtd/antennaprofile.dtd">
<profiles>
  <profile id="1"
	  antennapatternuri="/tmp/emane/antenna30dsector.xml"
	   blockagepatternuri="/tmp/emane/blockageaft.xml">
    <placement north="0" east="0" up="0"/>
  </profile>
  <profile id="2"
	   antennapatternuri="/tmp/emane/antenna30dsector.xml">
    <placement north="0" east="0" up="0"/>
  </profile>
</profiles>
```

Create `/tmp/emane/antenna30dsector.xml` with the following contents.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE antennaprofile SYSTEM "file:///usr/share/emane/dtd/antennaprofile.dtd">

## Run Demo
1. Select `Open...` within the GUI
1. Load `emane-demo-antenna.xml`
1. Click ![Start Button](../static/gui/start.gif)
1. After startup completes, double click n1 to bring up the nodes terminal

## Example Demo
This demo will cover running an EMANE event service to feed in antenna,
location, and pathloss events to demonstrate how antenna profiles
can be used.

### EMANE Event Dump
On n1 lets dump EMANE events, so when we later run the EMANE event service
you can monitor when and what is sent.

```shell
root@n1:/tmp/pycore.44917/n1.conf# emaneevent-dump -i ctrl0
```

### Send EMANE Events
On the host machine create the following to send EMANE events.

> **WARNING:** make sure to set the `eventservicedevice` to the proper control
> network value

Create `eventservice.xml` with the following contents.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE eventservice SYSTEM "file:///usr/share/emane/dtd/eventservice.dtd">
<eventservice>
  <param name="eventservicegroup" value="224.1.2.8:45703"/>
  <param name="eventservicedevice" value="b.9001.da"/>
  <generator definition="eelgenerator.xml"/>
</eventservice>
```

Create `eelgenerator.xml` with the following contents.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE eventgenerator SYSTEM "file:///usr/share/emane/dtd/eventgenerator.dtd">
<eventgenerator library="eelgenerator">
    <param name="inputfile" value="scenario.eel" />
    <paramlist name="loader">
      <item value="commeffect:eelloadercommeffect:delta"/>
      <item value="location,velocity,orientation:eelloaderlocation:delta"/>
      <item value="pathloss:eelloaderpathloss:delta"/>
      <item value="antennaprofile:eelloaderantennaprofile:delta"/>
    </paramlist>
</eventgenerator>
```

Create `scenario.eel` with the following contents.
```shell
0.0 nem:1 antennaprofile 1,0.0,0.0
0.0 nem:4 antennaprofile 2,0.0,0.0
#

30.0 nem:4 velocity 270.0,0.0,10.0
#
60.0 nem:1 antennaprofile 1,105.0,0.0
60.0 nem:4 antennaprofile 2,45.0,0.0
#
90.0 nem:1 velocity 90.0,0.0,10.0
90.0 nem:1 orientation 0.0,0.0,0.0
90.0 nem:1 antennaprofile 1,45.0,0.0
```

Run the EMANE event service, monitor what is output on n1 for events
dumped and see the link changes within the CORE GUI.
```shell
emaneeventservice -l 3 eventservice.xml
```

### Stages
The events sent will trigger 4 different states.

* State 1
  * n2 and n3 see each other
  * n4 and n3 are pointing away
* State 2
  * n2 and n3 see each other
  * n1 and n2 see each other
  * n4 and n3 see each other
* State 3
  * n2 and n3 see each other
  * n4 and n3 are pointing at each other but blocked
* State 4
  * n2 and n3 see each other
  * n4 and n3 see each other
