Detailed Description

Helper to create IEEE 802.11s mesh networks.

Definition at line 38 of file mesh-helper.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ns3::MeshHelper::ChannelPolicy

Spread/not spread frequency channels of MP interfaces.

If set to true different non-overlapping 20MHz frequency channels will be assigned to different mesh point interfaces.

Definition at line 129 of file mesh-helper.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ns3::MeshHelper::MeshHelper ( )

Construct a MeshHelper used to make life easier when creating 802.11s networks.

Definition at line 29 of file mesh-helper.cc.

ns3::MeshHelper::~MeshHelper ( )

Destroy a MeshHelper.

Member Function Documentation

int64_t ns3::MeshHelper::AssignStreams	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		int64_t	stream
	)

Assign a fixed random variable stream number to the random variables used by this model. Return the number of streams (possibly zero) that have been assigned. The Install() method of this helper should have previously been called by the user.

Parameters

stream	first stream index to use
c	NetDeviceContainer of the set of devices for which the mesh devices should be modified to use a fixed stream

Returns: the number of stream indices assigned by this helper

		uint16_t	channelId
	)		const

private

Returns: a WifiNetDevice with ready-to-use interface

NetDeviceContainer ns3::MeshHelper::Install	(	const WifiPhyHelper &	phyHelper,
		NodeContainer	c
	)		const

Install 802.11s mesh device & protocols on given node list.

Parameters

phyHelper	Wifi PHY helper
c	List of nodes to install

Returns: list of created mesh point devices, see MeshPointDevice
