Member Function Documentation

Ptr< WifiMac > ns3::QosWifiMacHelper::Create ( void ) const

privatevirtual

Returns: a newly-created MAC object.

This method implements the pure virtual method defined in ns3::WifiMacHelper.

Implements ns3::WifiMacHelper.

QosWifiMacHelper ns3::QosWifiMacHelper::Default ( void )

static

Create a mac helper in a default working state.

References SetType().

void ns3::QosWifiMacHelper::SetBlockAckInactivityTimeoutForAc	(	enum AcIndex	ac,
		uint16_t	timeout
	)

Sets value of block ack inactivity timeout for a specific access class. timeout represents number of blocks of 1024 microseconds. When this timer expires the relative block ack agreement is teared down. Timer is reset in an recipient station every time that a block ack request or a MPDU with ack policy BLOCK ACK is received. Timer is reset in a originator station every time that a block ack frame is received.

Parameters

ac	access category for which we are setting block ack threshold. Possibilities are: AC_BK, AC_BE, AC_VI, AC_VO.
timeout	number of block of 1024 microseconds.

void ns3::QosWifiMacHelper::SetBlockAckThresholdForAc	(	enum AcIndex	ac,
		uint8_t	threshold
	)

This method sets value of block ack threshold for a specific access class. If number of packets in the respective queue reaches this value block ack mechanism is used.

Parameters

ac	access category for which we are setting block ack threshold. Possibilities are: AC_BK, AC_BE, AC_VI, AC_VO.
threshold	the threshold (number of packets)

		std::string	n2 = `""`,
		const AttributeValue &	v2 = `EmptyAttributeValue ()`,
		std::string	n3 = `""`,
		const AttributeValue &	v3 = `EmptyAttributeValue ()`
	)

Set the class, type and attributes for the Msdu aggregator

Parameters

ac	access category for which we are setting aggregator. Possibilities are: AC_BK, AC_BE, AC_VI, AC_VO.
type	the type of ns3::MsduAggregator to create.
n0	the name of the attribute to set
v0	the value of the attribute to set
n1	the name of the attribute to set
v1	the value of the attribute to set
n2	the name of the attribute to set
v2	the value of the attribute to set
n3	the name of the attribute to set
v3	the value of the attribute to set

All the attributes specified in this method should exist in the requested aggregator.
