Detailed Description

ARF Rate control algorithm.

This class implements the so-called ARF algorithm which was initially described in WaveLAN-II: A High-performance wireless LAN for the unlicensed band, by A. Kamerman and L. Monteban. in Bell Lab Technical Journal, pages 118-133, Summer 1997.

This implementation differs from the initial description in that it uses a packet-based timer rather than a time-based timer as described in XXX (I cannot find back the original paper which described how the time-based timer could be easily replaced with a packet-based timer.)

It is important to realize that "recovery" mode starts after failure of the first transmission after a rate increase and ends at the first successful transmission. Specifically, recovery mode transcends retransmissions boundaries. Fundamentally, ARF handles each data transmission independently, whether it is the initial transmission of a packet or the retransmission of a packet. The fundamental reason for this is that there is a backoff between each data transmission, be it an initial transmission or a retransmission.

TypeId ns3::ArfWifiManager::GetTypeId ( void  )
static

This method returns the TypeId associated to ns3::ArfWifiManager.

This object is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:

  • /NodeList/[i]/DeviceList/[i]/$ns3::WifiNetDevice/RemoteStationManager/$ns3::ArfWifiManager

Attributes defined for this type:

  • TimerThreshold: The 'timer' threshold in the ARF algorithm.
  • SuccessThreshold: The minimum number of sucessfull transmissions to try a new rate.

Attributes defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager:

  • IsLowLatency: If true, we attempt to modelize a so-called low-latency device: a device where decisions about tx parameters can be made on a per-packet basis and feedback about the transmission of each packet is obtained before sending the next. Otherwise, we modelize a high-latency device, that is a device where we cannot update our decision about tx parameters after every packet transmission.
  • MaxSsrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for an RTS. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • MaxSlrc: The maximum number of retransmission attempts for a DATA packet. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • RtsCtsThreshold: If the size of the data packet + LLC header + MAC header + FCS trailer is bigger than this value, we use an RTS/CTS handshake before sending the data, as per IEEE Std. 802.11-2007, Section 9.2.6. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • FragmentationThreshold: If the size of the data packet + LLC header + MAC header + FCS trailer is biggerthan this value, we fragment it such that the size of the fragments are equal or smaller than this value, as per IEEE Std. 802.11-2007, Section 9.4. This value will not have any effect on some rate control algorithms.
  • NonUnicastMode: Wifi mode used for non-unicast transmissions.
    • Set with class: WifiModeValue
    • Underlying type: WifiMode
    • Initial value: Invalid-WifiMode
    • Flags: construct write read

No TraceSources defined for this type.
TraceSources defined in parent class ns3::WifiRemoteStationManager:

  • MacTxRtsFailed: The transmission of a RTS by the MAC layer has failed
  • MacTxDataFailed: The transmission of a data packet by the MAC layer has failed
  • MacTxFinalRtsFailed: The transmission of a RTS has exceeded the maximum number of attempts
  • MacTxFinalDataFailed: The transmission of a data packet has exceeded the maximum number of attempts
