Member Typedef Documentation

We keep a vector of pointers to PeerLink class. This vector keeps all peer links at a given interface.

Member Function Documentation

int64_t ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::AssignStreams ( 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.

Parameters
streamfirst stream index to use
Returns
the number of stream indices assigned by this model

Definition at line 582 of file peer-management-protocol.cc.

References m_beaconShift, NS_LOG_FUNCTION, and ns3::RandomVariableStream::SetStream().

void ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::DoDispose ( void  )
virtual

This method is called by Object::Dispose or by the object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e., for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose method.

It is safe to call GetObject from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Definition at line 95 of file peer-management-protocol.cc.

void ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::DoInitialize ( void  )
privatevirtual

This method is called only once by Object::Initialize. If the user calls Object::Initialize multiple times, DoInitialize is called only the first time.

Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject and AggregateObject from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Ptr< IeBeaconTiming > ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::GetBeaconTimingElement ( uint32_t  interface)

When we are sending a beacon - we fill beacon timing element.

Returns
IeBeaconTiming is a beacon timing element that should be present in beacon
Parameters
interfaceis a interface sending a beacon

bool ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::Install ( Ptr< MeshPointDevice mp)

Install PMP on given mesh point.

Installing protocol cause installing its interface MAC plugins.

Also MP aggregates all installed protocols, PMP protocol can be accessed via MeshPointDevice::GetObject<PeerManagementProtocol>();

void ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocol::ReceiveBeacon ( uint32_t  interface,
Mac48Address  peerAddress,
Time  beaconInterval,
Ptr< IeBeaconTiming beaconTiming 
)

To initiate peer link we must notify about received beacon.

Parameters
interfacethe interface where a beacon was received from
peerAddressaddress of station, which sent a beacon
beaconIntervalbeacon interval (needed by beacon loss counter)
beaconTimingbeacon timing element (needed by BCA)

uint16_t  aid,
IePeerManagement  peerManagementElement,
IeConfiguration  meshConfig 
)

Methods that handle Peer link management frames interaction:

Deliver Peer link management information to the protocol-part

Parameters
interfaceis a interface ID of a given MAC (interfaceID rather than MAC address, because many interfaces may have the same MAC)
peerAddressis address of peer
peerMeshPointAddressis address of peer mesh point device (equal to peer address when only one interface)
aidis association ID, which peer has assigned to us
peerManagementElementis peer link management element
meshConfigis mesh configuration element taken from the peer management frame
